Here I am, standing strong
Resolute, I can't go wrong
Grounded for what I believe
No regret or hope to grieve
I will stay, unswerving, here
Never let the shadows near
Never let them pull me down
In the abyss, I will not drown
Keep me brave and keep me true
Keep me on the path in view
I won't give up, nor will I fray
To fight again another day.

Life's a mystery.
I am strong. I know where to belong. I might know when I am wrong. I know when I am right. I like the night and the sunlight. If you tell me do so. I will so say no. If you push me down.
Slowly creeping . Softly weeping . My life is like a movie . One minute simple . The next one I crumble . This is the only way I see . Then you came along . You finished the song .
Don't ever stop chasing stars, But find them beneath your skin. Don't be hiding all your scars Your beauty shines from within.
You are a mighty warrior One that has come armed. Your weapons may not be obvious, But they can cause fatal harm.
My feet nailed to the ground. And I wont make a sound. You can't break me, you never will. Keep pushing me, I will stay still. I have this fire burning deep inside of me.
She has cracks Like a glass can have.
'Keep me brave & true, keep me on the path in view'...wonderful & poignant to me personally, purely from having lost my way in the past. Strong & beautiful piece π
@Fly10 thank you. @naaviie picked out those lines too. This poem is drawn from current experience, and I was thinking about it on the way to work this morning, when the next song on my iPod just sent shivers down my spine as it summed up exactly how I feel. The song didn't directly inspire this poem, hence no reference.
Oh yes I'm fine! Just last day at the zoo and the lions decided to have a scrap π what is down your path then?
@Nom - what else is there? Unhealthy food? A person that isn't good for you? Addiction is a funny thing...
You are very good at avoiding revealing this secret, I wish I wasn't so nosy π i'll leave it for now. Mwah π
