We all have a massive mountain to climb,
Especially those who've lost someone dear.
But climb that big mountain, we surely must,
If we are going to overcome fear.
I am broken,
Shattered into irreparable pieces.
Who is going to save me?
When will all of this cease?
Wake up, beautiful.
Wake up from this tragedy.
Breathe,
Return to reality.
You've had those feelings... you wish your life was done.
You're broken, defeated, and overcome.
Each day more challenging than the last.
Moments of weakness...emotions consistently masked.
Beautiful. Starting with pessimistic feelings, ending optimistically. True.
Friends can change our lives for the better. Life is not to suffer, but to enjoy. How Is left to us to...

how you stand so very tall,
how you never give in.
You bend, but do not fall.

that have happened to me.
I will overcome my hard times.
I will overcome my past.- Cassandra Mosley
Keep your head up
and your heart strong,
and then, my dear,
you can never go wrong.
In life there are going to be obstacles
that will cause interference,
but we must learn to overcome
these challenges and grow stronger.
