RISE ABOVE

I designed this rhyme to remind...

**There comes a time when your tears become your motivation
Your exhaustion becomes your energy
Your weakness becomes your strength
And your confusion becomes your view**

Knocking my fist into the chest of iniquity
I seize the darkened depth of its sound
Pierce my nails into a conquering clutch
Letting the fevered ooze seep into the ground
I rise above with experience turn lesson and lessons learned
Wearing mistakes forgiven as my crown
Shinning complications with a ray of faith
Dropping negativity pound for pound

I feel the pale mocking drip and puddle into my hands
Reflecting versus to freeze my soul
Long lost words with no face they cruelly whisper
Bidding my cries to tear through my skin as they roll
I rise above with tossing such echoes into an acid of rejection
Remembering to treat my dreams and love like gold
I tear myself down to rebuild for a new
A stronger me to fit the mold

Rise above-

Clarity!...You have found it Sis! The strength is found when you are knocked down and have nowhere to go but up...so Dust yourself off! I love your expression of strong will to "rise above". Excellent write!

I agree with your poem. We must learn from mistakes and become stronger. I like the examples used in the poem.

Your weakness becomes your strength
And your confusion becomes your view**"
