Courageous people survive, endure, find hope
These storms of life will wound or kill others
As clouds are dark, the inner fears are kindled
And who is to say what trauma may come still
Life preservers are words or thoughts, not rope
Many of our fears are false, memories smother
Hope otherwise, outlooks become splintered
Survival becomes a matter of personal will
Let yours flourish, become strong
Find and embrace hope inside
Don't worry if you are wrong
You'll find out one way
Or the other
Be the seed of victory
Be the weed that endures everything
Your dreams matter
You matter
You belong in this world
Now and forever
Hope is all we need
Celebrate your dreams
And live
