A Life To Be Lived

There was a time when
my life was filled with
G L O O M
I thought I was
D O O M E D

Imprisoned by the actions of another
Little me had no control over
Pain and anguish were my friends
there seemed to be no other

The journey was endless;
No end in sight
yet even when all seemed hopeless
I traveled on and fought with all my might

I knew I would be alright
When I won the toughest fight;
The day I told gloom
"You're DOOMED
for life."

The pain's all gone now, just little battles to fight
but I'll never give up
To what's my right
A life to be lived
With all my might
