And I....
And I....
Travel to the edge of wellness
Teeter on the precipice a time or two
Return before reaching the brink
Dabbled in the uncertainties
Refusing to fall into the abyss
When the darkness seems unending
There is a driving force inside
Keeping afloat the survival instincts
To let the hope prevail every time
Downcast eyes are drawn to sunrise
Promise in beginning a new day
Light overtakes the ebony darkness
I have wavered there many times
Trapped between twilight and dawn
In the absence of any starlight
Until I could focus once again
On living, on accepting, on overcoming
Over and over again I emerge anew
Problems are made to be solved
Obstacles are placed to overcome
And I am intended to be a survivor
