There is a lot that has come and gone
A lot that has made me strong
There were situations I could learn from
Many situations that could burn me for long
Some were like needles and pins, some were like swords
Some of those which could break me into parts
I had two paths, I had two routes
One, That wasn’t difficult, wasn’t hard
But that would indeed rip part of me apart
Or to move on and learn to let go
To learn how to get up, how to be strong
I chose to be strong, I chose to learn from something wrong
A value that I will hold for long
A value that wont let me fear
A value that I hold dear
Or a option to give up and cry
And I chose to learn
I chose to shine, I chose to be a gold mine
I chose myself over all those cries,
I chose myself over those long nights teared up
It all started with a NO to try,
To a YES to touch the sky
That gave me a new start
That would never let me break apart
A value that I hold dear
A value that I hold near
A value that will let me shimmer…
