Overcome

Fighting for change is hard but when you put your faith in god you will succeed.

 I’m trying to find something to base my life upon,

A yearning in my soul to be filled that goes on and on.

As the years have passed by and the memories decay,

What was once hope is now filled with dismay.

Tomorrow is today and time stands still, even when it goes,

My ambition is to become something more, honestly...to grow.

Around the hill and up the tree far away,

The life I want is closer every single day.

All I’ve ever wanted was something to live for,

I don’t want to be a small being anymore.

I’ve been basing my life upon what others think,

I regret sometimes and I cry but then everything goes in the sink.

I’m fighting to become a better me, to find the me I want to be,

I have to remind myself that god is here, I am free.

Free from the rules I followed as a child,

And free from the oppression that humans cast so wild.

Now life is changing and I put my faith to God.

And sometimes I feel like no one pays attention to me,

What I think about the way things should be.

I understand now, that I must put God first not be on my own,

Because I don’t know what is best and I must be shown.

Looking up, I smile, knowing he knows the pain I keep in,

And he helps me clear it out, my strengths grow and deepen.

I hope to find each day growth and to be what I am meant to become,

I am not what I have done or seen, I am what I have overcome.
