Never lost

by Beatrice Jean-Baptiste
(Hampton, GA)

Deep in my soul there's no dying light,
My heart does not cry and
is not filled with tears,
My heart is not bruised,
empty nor torn,but is filled
with hope and belief,
no pain, no anger inside,
I'm strong at heart
and strong at mind,
my memories aren't black
like a cold lonesome night,
I haven't lost my way
and life, Isn't so complicated,
I don't feel like I'm drowning,
I don't slowly fall apart,
I'm not wounded at all
and my blood does not drip,
never in pain, never lost,
never frozen, my water floats to rivers
with no poison, I can breathe,
wanting, wanting, I keep moving,
Keeping my head up, life has meanings
and great values, wanting and wanting,
I keep it moving.
