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.
