Carry On Poem by Barry Hughes

How can I fight the feelings inside?
The questions I fear and the pain that I hide
To many times I've silenced my voice
Scared to speak up or make a hard choice
But now is the time to forget that I’m hurt
To get to my feet and brush off the dirt
Not another what if, or feeling left out
I'm not giving in to the feelings of doubt
I've struggled so hard to finish this race
And come way to far to fall on my face
So I pick myself up and clench my fists tight
I'm numb to the pain and I wont lose this fight
