RISE ABOVE

Destroyed in a heap of vile
No way to shake the demons
Disgraced beyond belief
A feeling of nothingness
Confused, scared, afraid, alone
That’s the fear inside
Beat all hate within
Because inner fear is your worst enemy
Like the sands of time
You must learn to move
Don’t be silent and still
Like a ship in the desert
Negativity never helped anyone
Positively helped all overcome
Darkness will fall upon you
If you fail to rise above

Indeed - Optimism and a smile take us infinitely farther than foundering in the dregs of our lives... Nicely said, Sun..

What Nan said.
This is beautifully done.
