Roldyne Pierre Louis

I Will Overcome

I am trying till I’m tired,

People say you are not trying hard enough

So I am trying with my eyes wide

Looking to find a way through this day

Trying to find a path to life’s true meaning

Hoping to please my friends,

Fighting to stay clear of the enemies,

The pain is real

But Love conquers the pain

My head aches from been tired.

My eyes hurt from trying to trying to try

And looking for a way to try and to try harder

My hands are broken from fighting so hard.

My heart is broken from been let down.

But faith conquers the pain.

One thing I know for sure

Is that I will overcome this tragedy

For I will overcome this pain.
