I Survived
By Dragonpoet
In my infancy I had not a chance, Not a chance to dance or prance, For before I learn who I was, I was already shattered, battered, and tattered. A child unloved, already shoved aside, Left to hinge upon the shadows, To reside within the walls,halls of despair, Already locked outside, outside the family unit. Amongst the walls, halls of despair, The child learned, and grew, discovering life, With all the tears I have cried, all the silent pride, I still stand outside, never truly knowing the meaning, The meaning of family. The years have past, flying bye, Even though my infancy has left its stain, I still stand tall, with my pride, Knowing in the end, I have survived. Amongst the shadows, I still thrived, Growing, showing them, beating the odds, Knowing that as long as I still live, They haven't beaten me, shattered me, crushed me.
