Overcome

I move through life like swimming in the sea

Many a storm has battered me

Waves of destruction I've managed to outrun

It's as if I was created to overcome

My stories are many I'll let time tell

How I went to sleep in Heaven woke up in Hell

Choices gain voices some cause more pain

Standing trial with a smile I still remain

A young boy who dreamed a future bright

Staring into space embracing the darkness of night

Solitude my lover we raised hell

Became a monster amongst demons I did dwell

No limit I took it to the brink

Heart so dead all I did was drink

Drowned that boy did my best to destroy

Used up discarded like a toy

Shadows of me lay in the past

Here we go again will this new me last?

Lessons learned I feel no doubt

Can only play the cards as they're dealt

All is fun till you're staring down a gun....

One of many things I had to overcome....
