Well i've made it this far

I'm quite proud of how far i've come
it's been hard and scary at times
I wish I could fix all that I have done wrong
and make it all come out all right.
Unfortunately I know that somethings are not that easy to do.
I believed in trust, truth and honesty.
I have been hurt, used and abused.
At times I gave up completely but
as they say when you hit rock bottom the only way is up .
I refuse to stay down,
if and when I make it back there I will be so much stronger than before.
I can see where i've gone wrong 

and now I know I will carry on .

If only to make it to the other end

to a place where I no longer have to pretend

so when I smile I know it's real

So that those who wish to cause me pain

would no longer exist within my brain.

I can make it and I will get there

I know i'm strong enough to carry on

and I know my life will go on.

    The struggle of life is very well explained here. used, abused and disused, inspite of that you came back to continue life. This is all about life. It is like a river to continue to go on inspite of twists turns and bends. It becomes bigger and bigger as it moves. Thank you for sharing the fact through poem..keep going

    This is a great poem!
    A wonderful reminder to us all that some things in life aren't permanent. Sometimes we get the
    opportunity to make up for what we have done wrong.
    It is important that we reevaluate our lives and see
    where it is that we went wrong. In doing so, we can
    work to resolve our issues and bring ourselves out
    of the holes that we have dug.

    I love these lines:

    "I can make it and I will get there
    I know I'm strong enough to carry on
    and I know my life will go on."

    As long as we feel this way in life, anything is possible. It's great to read that you are proud
    of who you are and where you are in your life.
    Thank you for your entry in my contest!
    I appreciate it and wish you the best of luck with it!
