Tomorrow

I was drowning in a deep sea of despair, and I thought there was nothing I could do.
I kept falling and falling. Nothing could help me...not even the happy memories I shared with you.
The darkness entered my soul, my eyes, my smile…
but I knew it would all be worthwhile
because I would emerge again, stronger than before
and nothing could bring me down anymore.

I saw my hopes and dreams collapse in front of my eyes.
I tried, again and again, to keep going, to rise
after every obstacle…to keep moving ahead…
but all my will, brought me down instead.
I know it is hard to rise up again,
but fear not, I will not give up…not until I can remain
who I am, and stay on my feet.
It's even worse if you accept defeat.

I used to break down after every mistake I made,
after every moment that left me afraid…
but now I know better. I know that I have to fight.
I have to fight to stay in the light,
to protect myself, and discover my potential.
Being strong, brave, and happy is essential.
I have been through a lot, despite my young age,
so take my advice, and get out of your cage.
Do not weep in your past and your sorrow.
Live your life! Smile for a brighter tomorrow.
