My inner strength

I look out a window

from a broken place.

Is it rain I feel or

tears on my face?

I step out a door

made of shattered glass.

To stand on my feet from

being knocked on my ass.

My heart is broken

in pieces on the ground.

But I take a deep breath

and a good look around.

One day at a time

is what I will take.

To begin to heal and

my heart to un-break.

I will stand tall and

the pain will end.

My self, my heart

will slowly mend.

There will be times

where I fall to my knees.

I will pray for strength

and have faith in me.

I will become the force

to be reckoned with.

No more will I sit back

and take the hits.

There will be no obstacle

that stands in my way.

I get a little bit stronger

with each passing day.

There are still some battles

that have yet to be won.

I will win those too

when it's all said and done.
