Long Road

It may still be here
but I know
that defeat is played.
Because I'm still here.
I pick me up
even though, I'm
thrown down.
Watch me grow
into wisdom.
Let me walk
the road I take.
Saddness comes in waves
but I know how to deal.
Depression almost
killed me but
my strenth is not compared.
To the ones that fall.
Every day stabbed me
but I pulled the knives out.
Began the healing that
led me to the woman
I am today.
