Overcoming the Odds
by
Janeece Vance
You’re conquering to make it through the snow
You’re struggling to withstand the shivering cold
You’re walking through the pit of pain and sorrow
This is a shroud of depressed thoughts
You begin wondering, how to abandon pain
How can you relieve this stressful stage
You’re embarrassed your actions will trigger shame
You desperately commence seeking a way out
You’ve elected on how to terminate your life
You’re driven to these means to end your strife
You’re coward to use a gun or a knife
Then hesitation and confusion merges within
As you’re contemplating on what to pursue
You’re heart seeks for answers on what to do
A voice from above cries out to you
Potently demanding to believe in you
You begin seeking deep within your soul
Examining places which no one goes
A spirit derives from your deepest soul
Cradling a hidden talent or two
As you’re revealed this brand new life
You’re then transported to incredible heights
You become thankful and surprised
You CAN overcome all odds of strife
