This is a poem I wrote a few years ago. I’m not exactly sure what “tragedy” I had just gone through, but here’s an inspirational piece for the day. Have a Happy Sunday

Surviving

Yesterday was not a good day
But today, I won’t stay as I was
Yes I know tomorrow will come
And I know I must succeed
But first, I must believe in me.

Harder and harder this life gets
Yet tomorrow I must face with no regrets
Standing up strong I must stay
To face this life another day.

I’m not the only one who cries, I know
I can’t say on myself anymore
I’m not the only one who has to bare pain
So forgive and forget – I must to gain.

To gain a life worth living
To have a peaceful sleep at night
To find love, love so pure
To be joyful forevermore.
I must turn the page of this tragedy
And continue on in peace.

Tomorrow is coming, get ready!
Giving up is not a choice.
I must
I will
Survive.
