Overcomer

Poetically moving forward

I anxiously wanna detach from the outcome that hurt a lot.

It costs me a great deal, but was it worth a lot?

I’m through letting the wounds of the past change me for the worse.

I’m through with being my worse. It’s a curse.

It’s not worth forever riding in the Hearst of life.

I’m overcoming mental slavery with a thirst for life.

The enemies came after me. A tidal wave of wrath for me.

It’s time for negativity to meet its end of tragedy.

I’ll persevere through the cold winters and oven summers.

My victories grow in numbers. I am an overcomer.
