poem

How can you see
When you are clouded by the hurt
How do you know
You can fight yourself when everything is crumbling

Do you have the strength to look beyond your hurt
To take the punches given
When you know you
Should not

In all that you have learned
About self worth and the inner peace
About strength and moving on
When it hurts it gets so hard to get just past it

In everything you know
the true spirit will come out
How long and when is the question
How sure are we to get it out
And really move on
