I am going to live and shine
Push boundaries and cross the line...

I have tried to let go of this past I created.
But somehow I have become the person I hated...

I know there is a God
When I have those times when nothing goes my way...

To fight for one or benefit all,
How does one decide between the two...

Dear death:
I have been calling you for quite awhile...

I learned to cope
But had no hope...

My life was falling apart
At that moment I began to cry...

To see through the eyes of a broken soul,
Who once had aspirations and once had a goal...

If you read every other line there's two poems...
Butterflies in my stomach almost every day...

Sometimes people lose sight of life,
They focus on struggles and focus on strife...

Looking back and reminiscing,
Seeing the past that now is missing...

Afflicted heart from the wounds doth break,
Take thee away from the sadness thou make...
