Overcoming the Odds
by
Janeece Vance
![](../../_themes/sumipntg/sumhorsa.gif)
You’re conquering to make it through the snow
You’re struggling to withstand the shivering cold
You’re walking through the pit of pain and sorrow
This is a shroud of depressed thoughts
You begin wondering, how to abandon pain
How can you relieve this stressful stage
You’re embarrassed your actions will trigger shame
You desperately commence seeking a way out
You’ve elected on how to terminate your life
You’re driven to these means to end your strife
You’re coward to use a gun or a knife
Then hesitation and confusion merges within
As you’re contemplating on what to pursue
You’re heart seeks for answers on what to do
A voice from above cries out to you
Potently demanding to believe in you
You begin seeking deep within your soul
Examining places which no one goes
A spirit derives from your deepest soul
Cradling a hidden talent or two
As you’re revealed this brand new life
You’re then transported to incredible heights
You become thankful and surprised
You CAN overcome all odds of strife
