The rise up is never an easy thing
Having lived and dwelt in toxic dreams,
That reflect the despairing of existence
From the gutter we put up our resistance,
We battled hard to survive
What we know as a hard knock life
We suffered much along the way
The trials and tribulations were often grave
But strong we were as we worked in an inspired state
Used our potential everyday
In a hope that somehow it may bring about change
And rise us up to claim our place
Among the legends and the greats
Oh, to be regaled in this special place of grace
So that maybe I could light a way
To help others find this inspirational way to create
So that they can also rise and take their place
In this special place of grace.
