I Rise
I was down and out
Languishing in the black bowels of Hell
Writhing in agony
Mental anguish debilitating me
But now I'm back
And I rise
Im fighting,
Im on the attack
Loneliness won't defeat me
I'll grab life by the scruff
And get what's mine
I'll defend my corner
Sick of being walked over
Trodden on
I will prevail
Life wont win
Won't be tossed about
By others actions and my emotions
Im taking back my power
I'm not giving in

Dear Louise,
Taking back the power is the key to winning!
Won't be tossed about
By others actions and my emotions
Im taking back my power
I'm not giving in
Love it!!!
