Alone I Rise !

Little by little,

One day at a time 

You took away all of me..

You took away

My happiness,

My smile,

My hopes,

My dreams,

My confidence,

My soul,

My secrets,

My trust,

But I’m ready again to face life

I won’t let you win

I ‘m walking slowly towards my destination

With my head held high, chin up

I may stumble sometimes

I may even fall

But I won’t give up …

I’m no more afraid to face your criticism

Your indifference

Your doubts

Your cruel laugh

Your questions 

To bring me down

I know out there more people like you is waiting to write me off

Hiding their faces in different kind of masks

Take away everything

But every time you knock me down

I’ll rise again and again …
