Values

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

I had an option to learn and shine

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…
