Rise
This is another poem I've been wanting to write for some time. It's very short and brief, but I think the message is everlasting.
I have fallen before, and I couldn't get up
I have been scared before, and it wouldn't letup
I will always have flaws, because I'm not always correct
I will always have to see things I never expect
There will be times when I lose, because I don't always win
There will be times that I frown when I don't have the strength to grin
I have hidden my sadness with a mask of smiles
I've tried to find a clear path, but there were too many isles
I have lied on my back, groaning through the pain
I have had problems poor onto me, like the soft rain
I may have suffered my lows, but I will always reach my highs
Because I don't stay on the ground, I get up and rise
It's not about what happened before that brought you down to your knees, it's about what you did that got you back on your feet.
I have fallen before, and I couldn't get up
I have been scared before, and it wouldn't letup
I will always have flaws, because I'm not always correct
I will always have to see things I never expect
There will be times when I lose, because I don't always win
There will be times that I frown when I don't have the strength to grin
I have hidden my sadness with a mask of smiles
I've tried to find a clear path, but there were too many isles
I have lied on my back, groaning through the pain
I have had problems poor onto me, like the soft rain
I may have suffered my lows, but I will always reach my highs
Because I don't stay on the ground, I get up and rise
It's not about what happened before that brought you down to your knees, it's about what you did that got you back on your feet.
