Literature Text

I am not the one

who believes in a hopeless end

I am not the one

who will live a life of tragedy

of humility, hurt, or blasphemy

I am not a lost cause

who will trade in a life of blessings

for an unforgiving and uncertain ending

I am not a stranger to the world

who found her answers in a fervent, scalding blade

or false salvation through the demon's serenade

I am not the one

who will give up only to give in

or to look down instead of looking up

I am not the one

who will see freedom in a rope and gin

I am not the one

to die before I begin



I am the one

who is reborn again from Your love

I am the one

who will praise You, beautiful One

until the sun sets and my days are done

I am the one

who believes in endless hope

I am Yours
I got the inspiration to write this poem while I was listening to "Paper Birds" by Parachutes.
I believe that even though I've been struggling with a mental illness for almost my entire life, hope and salvation are waiting for me somewhere out there.

One day I'll be free from this.

Also, the photo I used here is of my baptism that took place this passed April.
