Someday
I won't be here
to listen to complaints

Someday
I won't be here
to take your threats

Someday
I won't be here
to feel the bruises form

Someday
I won't be here
at this time and place.

I wrote this one day when my mom had been yelling at me, and I was tired of feeling like I wasn't good enough.

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not pray for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.<br /> ~ Tagore

So much emotion in so few words... Wow. This is really amazing. I think lots of people (including me) can relate to this. Great job. 5/5
