Excellent!! Reblog!!
These eyes have seen, and this body has felt
Many years of adversities and obstacles
Trials and tribulations.
I have stepped much too close to the edge
Played with fire, burned badly by the flame
Been left weary and weak
Tried and tested, pushed and proven
Rocked and rolled, left for dead
To see light of day again
My self my opposition, a worthy adversary
To you I can only find these words to say
Listen closely and take heed
Go ahead
Knock me down
I will get up
Keep on
Knock me down again
Again I will get up
Persist
Push me over yet again
Once more I stand
Be strong
Drive me down hard
I lift myself smiling
That all you got?
Send me reeling this time
Joy accompanies my ascent
Throw me over
Painful reminders of long ago
Pride sees me up one more time
Grind me…
