Shattered

Like Pieces Of Glass

Laying On The Pavement...

Imperceptible Bruises,

Visible On My Heart,

But It Won't Stop beating...

My Mind Is Racing

But My Body Stands Soporific

I Put My Pride To The Side,

And Let My Ego Face My Fears...

Although I Am A Little Afraid,

I Still Trust My Journey.

Even While Hurting,

Something Tells Me, That I Can Take The Pain,

Just Like The Sand Takes InThe Rain...

I Know That This Is Tough,

But I Just Can't Give Up...

No One Told Me,

This Is For Me, But Undoubtedly,

I Will Succeed, This I Do Believe.

Even On My Bad Days

There Are Better Days Ahead...

I Can Only Imagine

What The Future Holds For Me...

    Ah, Lonzo, finding the strength to face each day, to rise and do it all again can see like a superhuman effort, but we do it because we have the will to survive. This is uplifting and inspirational. Blessings on the days now and those to come. Heartfelt poetry.
