The Ultimate Revenge

I have wounds upon my soul,
No, life is never fair.
But, I can't let your will control
The pain I cannot bear.
So, today, I take revenge
For what you've done to me.
You didn't crush me. I shall mend.
I'm going to be free.

If I give up, you will win.
So, I must carry on.
I choose to let my life begin.
My courage is not gone.
Victory is learning how
To live, like I am whole.
Living in the here and now,
And striving for some goals.

If I stay where I have been,
And give the fear control,
I'll never be my own friend.
You'll own part of my soul.
Now, I choose to change those things
That lie within my grasp.
I'll mount up, as if with Eagle's wings,
And overcome the past.
