OverCome
OverCome
On windy days,
And snowy nights
I used to try,
To make things right
I looked in a mirror,
And said to myself
That no matter my mistakes,
I would have faith
That even I,
Could do things well
If I keep trying,
I'm bound to overcome
This feeling of weakness
And this feeling of fright
And eventually after,
A lifetime of wrongs
I would finally do something,
Perfectly right
And though I'm lacking,
Any talents or skills
I will not go down,
Without a fight
Because even someone,
Like me can succeed
In doing something,
Extraordinary
I refuse to allow,
People's words to slow me down
People's laughter as they,
See me miserably fail
And people's eyes as they watch,
Me fall down in pain
Because they no longer matter,
In this small world of mine
My only concern is my health,
My body and mind
And making sure,
I'll always survive
