I WILL SURVIVE

In the darkest part of life
In a place where no help abound
In the gloom of endless strife
I will survive to see the end

Let all hell arise to stud
Let no one believe in me
let every hope I have be dashed
I will survive until my time

As I cross the ocean of time
As my strength begins to fade
As faith's bell reduce it's chime
I will survive till my revived faith parades

Failure you can knock me down
Failure you can't knock me out
failure I am on my way to town
I will survive to raise my clout

I may be mocked but not disillusioned
I may be forgotten but not by destiny
I may be battered but not truncated
I will survive to embrace my destiny

@ Soi,

It belongs in the Poem Section angry

So what? Goodness what is wrong with some people?

@topic, I like the fact that it is a motivational poem. It's one of those poems that come in handy when one is down and out. Nice job making it look neat; four lines in every stanza and each stanza starting with the same word as the first and all stanzas ending with I will survive . . . Also your rhymes were on point, not too much and not absent. I do wish it had more imagery to it though because it looks too simple to me.

I'll rate this like a 4 out of 5 stars
