In the past few year, I've laughed, cried, known absolute joy and been lost in bitter sorrow...I now know the truth.
In the end, I'm better off alone. I have a few close friends with whom I will spend the rest of my life, and as I learn, I realize that that's all I'll ever need. I've fought, shed and shared blood, loved, lost, loved again, fallen, and gotten back up to start swinging again. I was tired...now I'm reborn.
I will fight forever.
I will hold the line when my friends can't...as they will for me.
I will forgive those who stand against me.
I will love those that love.
I will love those that hate.
I will not cower behind the lies of depression.
I will not fail.
I will not fall.
I will protect those I love till my end.
I will dance.
I will laugh.
I will smile.
I will speak my mind.
I will tell the truth...not for your benefit, but for mine.
I will protect my honor, on my own terms.
I will not be a slave to man or machine.
I will not be forsaken.
I will not be forgotten.
I will fight forever...and I will rise above.
