A CRY FOR FREEDOM © 2008
In all the battles, I came out losing,
I carried the weight of each defeat,
And in the silence of my being,
I felt the pain that life brings.
But, even without victory in my hands,
I carried with me something greater,
For in the falls, I learned the empty
Paths that lead to the inner self.
Losing was my constant fate,
But in each loss, I gained insight,
That the value lies in the divine
Growth that comes from overcoming.
And so, even in losing, I continue,
Without fear of facing what comes,
With a heart steadfast, though wounded,
And a soul ready for whatever may come.
