I Will Rise! ! ! Poem by Emma Jane Rae

I've spent the majority of my life,
Feeling heartbroken,
Fixated on conversation,
And words that were,
Or were not spoken,
Emotional chords,
That now hang in tatters,
I've lost count,
How many times my hearts been shattered,
And it actually really,
Physically hurts,
They say only sticks and stones can break your bones,
But unfortunately so can words,
The trauma left,
Seems to have wrecked my head,
And I get triggered,
When certain words are said,
I've been lied too and deceived,
I've been bullied and beaten,
I may be on the ground now,
But you'll never see me defeated,
I will rise,
With fire in my veins,
And only dust and ashes from my past,
Are the only things that will remain,
I can choose life,
Or I can choose my past,
But life is for living,
We are not built to last,
So I shall say this,
As I put my best foot first,
You will only ever see me succeed,
So feel free to do your worst!
