They tell me to hold on

But my grip is slowly slipping

Im dang

ling over the shark pool

But no one seems to care

 

I cry out for help

"Please, some one save me!"

But as tears stream my face

All I have is me

 

I am letting go now

I have nothing to hold on for

Like a spider incaged in a sticky web

I am stuck, with no hero

 

"Just try harder."

"Hold on longer."

"Grow up a little."pp-[l

It is all I ever hear

 

But my ears are bleeding

My lungs are collapsing

My heart is breaking

My life is a black hole

 

But some where inside

A voice beckons me

Convincing me not to give up

Because somebody loves me

 

So I pull myself up

Tell the skarks they rule me no more

For I am stronger now

Than I have ever been before

 

My deep painful scars

Fade to silver battle wounds

My heart stitched back together

With the thread of hope

 

I will not look back

Refuse to give in

To the demons inside

For they are nothing now

 

I have taught my self

That I am beautiful  

I am strong

And a fighter

 

So for all of you

Who have a shark pool of your own

Let the sharks morph to gold fish

And know you are worth it

 

Never give up

Because somebody loves you

It took me a long time to learn this

And soon you will too

 

Stay strong little soldiers

Writing this poem was very difficult, yet so simple. the words seemed to flow through me, but they were hard to confess. Every one is beautiful, never forget that.
