My Will

I
Have no fear
for from the bottom
I rise...

Eventhough
before I jump from this cliff
I still
Close my eyes

Feeling the wind
engulf me
In the distance
I hear an eagle cry
as I swoop over mountain tops
I realize...
I still know how to fly

Now...
I open my eyes
and take in the view
as I leave past regret
behind in a melancholy blue

I see where Ive been
as poignant tears fall
yet my heart rises
as I hear my future call

A wounded soldier I am
A wounded warrior I be
But there one thing
that can never be taken
away from me....

My  will to survive
My desire to see
what roads and paths...
Lie forever
before me
