Hit Me
Rise up with courage fight the beast
Be brave- Be wild- Or he will feast
His appetite is fierce he won’t give in
Leaving massive scars deep within
Gather up your anguish to fight the savage
Ready for clemency Ready to ravage
Release your heartache to be your drive
Leading to its death but you will survive
Carisa Adrienne
Such an awesome film. And a great poem to match

Hi! Mark π I’m right there with you on struggling. We are all survivors of somethings is the truth, isn’t it!? It’s sometimes bewildering what the body can endure. I would rather go through the worst pain delivered rather anything to do with my heart. Somethings stay with us our lifetime. I’m learning to embrace my struggles that I know I will never get over.
