The Crossroads

The things I was taught
Are the same things that tell a story
The things I was given
Are the same things that make me who I am

A story does not begin now
It began the day I was born
A story does not end here
It continues until I reach my destination

Whoever said I would not make it
It was all lies
Whoever said I cannot be
It was a betrayer

Things comes and goes
Until loyalty is embraced and honoured
Things break you down into pieces
Until strength is found

This is a story I was born to tell
This is a story I am willing and eagerly to tell
This is a story I am meant to tell
This is a story of my life
