Believe Me, Because I Do

[sabrefanatic77]

Reaching out
I'm realizing now that there's no use
That it's time to move on,
and for the first time, I believe myself.

For the longest time,
I think that's something that I couldn't do.
No, I still don't believe in myself,
however I believe myself, and that's a start.

So long, I thought of life
and life didn't seem the same
until I factored out my losses
and realized my gains

I've lost so much
but the gain is what counts
losing only brings me so much
where gain brings me so much more.

I've lived in this shadow,
in fear of coming out.
I think I'm starting to see some light
and all I want to do is shine through it.

Shining brightly, I'll show you and the world
what I meant when I said
that I'll always be able to shine on
and overcome this troubled life I lead.
