Rising Above

Living in the past,
We act like no one should,
But this time will be our last,
For we will turn good.

We bite our nails,
Snort some coke,
Tell tall tales,
On lies we choke.

We sever our skin,
We drink all day,
We never win,
We aren't meant to be this way.

We have each other,
It is all we need,
Our temptations we can smother,
And plant our seed.

Filled with hope and desire,
We will change today,
Together we utilize our fire,
To light the way.

For we are much stronger,
Then we ever did know,
As we grow ever longer,
We rise out of this low.

Standing tall,
We are free,
We will never fall,
But forever we will be.
