I Will Overcome: Putting Thoughts Out Into the World

 

I Will Overcome

 

We all just trying to survive,

Moving through our lives,

Going day to day,

Wondering if this was the end,

Of enjoying your time,

Or if there’s more to life…

 

Let’s take a ride…

A walk down memory lane,

To remind ourselves,

Of what else awaits…

And once we find what’s on the other side,

Things will change…

The road proves dangerous,

And we become anxious,

With winding turns,

Leaving no time for second guessing,

A journey never ending,

I will overcome,

The obstacles are just temporary…

 

On a path of self-love,

Self-discovery,

Continuously growing,

Even though,

Darkness closes in,

All around me...

I have become stronger,

Than the pain I keep inside…

I hate feeling alone,

But in that lies the truth,

You are all you have,

Fighting your progress…

An unseen fate,

But smile to hide the fear,

Of getting lost in your own thoughts…

 

Let’s take a ride…

A walk down memory lane,

To remind ourselves,

Of what else awaits…

And once we find what’s on the other side,

Things will change…

The road proves dangerous,

And we become anxious,

With winding turns,

Leaving no time for second guessing,

A journey never ending,

I will overcome,

The obstacles are just temporary…

 

My own insecurities,

Are all that’s stopping me,

Blocking the way…

A bright future might be ahead,

Waiting for me to break free,

From myself…

From my past,

And what everyone said,

Because I only know how I feel,

What was real,

And how tragedy,

Has caused me to adapt...

So this is all that’s left...

 

Let’s take a ride…

A walk down memory lane,

To remind ourselves,

Of what else awaits…

And once we find what’s on the other side,

Things will change…

The road proves dangerous,

And we become anxious,

With winding turns,

Leaving no time for second guessing,

A journey never ending,

I will overcome,

The obstacles are just temporary…
