I will rise

I will rise high

I may fall down, covered in dirt and ash

But I brush myself off one more time

Purple and blue hues paint my body

I wil rise

I will rise high

Emotionally scarred from past and present

Jaded by the experiences

Broken, tamed and shamed

I will rise

I will rise high

This internal dialogue of guilt, loneliness, and pain

The cycle of victimhood haunting me, lurking in my shadows

I will rise

I will rise high

I am not these words

I am not this

This is not who I am

I will rise

I will rise high

I am divine

I am everything and nothing

I am RISING

I am RISING HIGH
