Rising up from the ground <br />Standing on my own two feet <br />No longer needing u around <br />Im facing my defeat <br />Keeping myself on track although I may stray <br />no more trying to hide <br />No longer running away, <br />No longer contemplating suicide <br />Molding myself into who I will be <br />No longer influenced by what you do <br />Striving to make my life more about me <br />No longer about people like you..<br /><br />shannon lowery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rising-up-3/
