MY SMILE BEHIND MY TEARS

As I sit back and realize how far I have made it, I can actually smile. It was dark, lonely and cold. My world didn't exist because I was stuck in my mother's world. I was still in a fetal position wishing someone would pick me up and hold me, wrap me up in their arms, but most of all love me. I wanted someone to rescue me, but no one wanted to take that responsibility so I was left alone to find my way through life by alone. Once I was able to lift my head and hold it steady, I knew that my journey through life was going to be rocky, so I put on all of my pads and started my journey. I failed a few times, but I was able to get back up and redeem myself. I knew that if I didn't take my life into my own hands, it could only get worse. THE SMILE BEHIND MY TEARS. I am smiling as I write this poem because I know that I am strong, a warrior, a survivor, a soldier, growth, happy, outgoing, wise, beautiful, humble,but most of all I am LOVED, THE SMILE BEHIND MY TEARS.
