Today

Today I will forget,

The sorrows of before.

I'll be one day stronger,

as I walk out my door. 

Today I'll break the chains,

That have scarred my tired wrists.

To defeat the monster deep inside,

and quiet it's insists. 

Today I will stand taller,

I'll trust myself to know.

For if I fall I'll stand again,

And my strength will only grow. 

Today I will have courage,

To face another day.

Surrounded by others,

Who have much the same to say. 

Today I will have faith,

which really is just to hope.

I'll climb the mountain of challenge,

and conquer its steep slope. 

Today I'll speak words of truth,

"Get thee hence, deceive me not."

I'll proclaim, the same as Moses,

"Get behind me Satan, I am stronger then you thought."
