Held Back

How can I move forward when my heart’s in the past?
No it’s not broken, it’s torn from my chest
It is owned by the one that walked out of my world
But out of her care, my heart she just hurled
Op’ning the door to a new world of pain
Stressed to the limit, yeah I’m nearly insane
Been through so much, why does life knock me down?
Holding me under, trying to drown,
All my desires, my potential, my dreams
Snuffed in a moment, destroyed by life’s schemes
But I rise again, up against all hope
I DON’T DIE, I NEVER give up hope.
Life was given me, by a curse come true,
But I won’t relinquish it, till I’m totally through.
Till I exact in full measure, the joy I deserve
Till I take by sheer grit, what I’ve never been served
Success, Victory, these are my goals,
And I’ll reach them regardless, whatever the tolls
I NEVER give up, those who know me agree
And one day, when I’m ready, I’ll be indelibly free!!
