Sweeter Times Sweeter times Warmer winds flowing through my hair Bright sun and feelings in my eyes shines a light inside of me A once darker soul That was in there. Stuck within stains of blood and torn wounds Scars showing That I tried to hide I proudly wear. It is a badge of honor that I chose to display, proudly. Never to hold within a mist of sickness and self-pity and despair I hold up, proudly, this “wrestling trophy” That I hold up, in the ring, of life’s ring. With my smile lit up so brightly.
