It's about getting back up

~*~The hardest part for me
used to be getting back up again
Now the real challenge
is allowing myself to stay down~*~

~*~I lost pieces of myself
along this journey called life
Some good, some bad
but all necessary to shed~*~

~*~I used the gaps in myself
to create a better version of me
One that is self-made and original
The kind that will leave a legacy~*~
