They tried hard to
Take me away,
To that dark place
Where I would
Only feel pain,
_____________________
Where my potential
Could be curtailed,
Where I would never see
The light of day.
_____________________
But
I resisted their
Evil advances,
And I
Took no chances;
_____________________
I changed my circumstances,
I sidestepped
The furious glances.
_____________________
As I
Made my way
To the river,
I stepped in,
And I shivered,
_____________________
But the cold water
Was a pain reliever,
It made me believe in myself
And in forever.
