Back On My Feet!

It hurt even to crack a smile or part my lips to speak, So parched I was_ That I could not bear others To know me so weak... I tried my best to cover up The infirmity of being late, Summoning all remaining hope Per chance to change this state... So many steps taken backward And not easily regained, The pace forward, Needed to be hastened, Sparing life severely strained... However, I resigned to be patient, A doleful while longer, Daring not to be recognized, I hid until I grew stronger... Now I am here, Feeling as strong as steel, Tasting a new life without fear, Like the King of the Hill... ©All Rights Reserved-2012
