I could never give up now.

Not after I made it so far.

After all the sacrifice people have made to get me here.

Transforming survival into a promise.

A blessing I never requested.

Full of more than my own hopes.

***

I could never give in.

Not to the damage I struggle against.

After knowing the good it does others.

Pain transferred from my heart to another.

Another loss that should never have happened.

Dressed up in a pretty wooden box alive or dead.

***

I could never imagine myself going through so much.

Not living the life I expected.

After all that, hardly invincible.

Types of pain I could never have predicted.

Agony pushed through and risen above.

Survived.

***

I could never tell you where I will end up.

Not doing more than flowing with the fate ahead.

After the pain, learning to move one step at a time.

The best hopefully yet to come.

More blessings I never expected.

I am sure I could never believe it.
