No other choice

I was lost in a dark place, With troubles and pains to face, But I kept fighting every day, To find a new and better way. The journey was hard, and full of strife, But I never gave up on life, I held onto hope and stayed strong, To keep going, and move along. Through tears and sorrows, I found my power, To rise above and not cower, To live, to love, to be alive, And appreciate the good and thrive. I decided to never give in, To embrace the light and not give up the win, To break free from the things that caused me pain, And to believe in myself again. Now I stand tall with open arms, Ready to embrace life's charms, I have overcome struggles and chosen life, To make the most of it, and thrive.
