Poem: I got Up

 

I fell. I got up.

The storm was passing by.

Got knocked off my feet. I determinedly stood up.

The winds were strong, the demons wouldn't let me alone.

The fog, blinding and engulfing me,

Made me feel momentarily weak.

But I would not let it conquer my soul.

I was determined to be wild and free.

Tall, I stood. 

Proud of my soul;

Wouldn't easily let go of

My dreams and my hopes. 

I'd try my hardest 

To protect my core, 

My essence, strength and beliefs

Would always guide me home.
