I thought I had everything under control.
Life, love, anything that came my way didn’t faze me..until it did.
I believed I was strong enough to handle anything..until something stronger came along.
When life brings you to your knees, you have to make a choice-
Either stay down or fight back.
There was only ever one path for me.
I spent a lot of dark nights searching my soul for the courage to dig my way out of rock bottom.
The bumps and bruises of the struggle hurt worse than anything I’d ever known..emotional scars that I’m still healing.
But that was the catalyst for my comeback.
Pain will either make you shrink and hide..
or grow and get stronger.
So, I chose to become a warrior.
I reclaimed my power, forged new strength from the things that once tore me apart..
And I kept going.
I refuse to live my life in fear of what may happen, worry about what I can’t control and shrink from the battles of life.
No, I’m choosing to rush headfirst into the challenges, growing stronger with each step and fiercer with every struggle.
Sure, I still fall down.
There are people that still hurt me.
Yes, I still cry in the shower and wipe away quick tears in the car.
I’ve even broken a time or two.
It doesn’t get easier and the pain doesn’t just go away.
I’m just strong enough now to fight my way through fiercely.
So, you may see me falling apart, but you won’t see me stay down, quit or give up.
I’ll do whatever it takes to overcome anything..for myself and the people I love.
Real warriors don’t accept failure, and that’s who I’ve worked hard to become.
No matter how hot the fires of life’s battles may burn to try to tear me apart,
I know I can keep rising from the ashes.
I’m always going to step back from the fray..
Keep remembering who I am,
Standing strong and proud.
I Look in the mirror every day and remind myself.
“Today, I rise again.”
