<p>YOU LEFT ME IN THE STRUGGLE</p><p><br></p><p>You left when my skies were gray,</p><p>When empty pockets blocked my way.</p><p>I had big dreams but little to show,</p><p>Still I believed that I would grow.</p><p><br></p><p>You walked away when I needed you near,</p><p>When every tomorrow was filled with fear.</p><p>I won't hate you for the choice you made,</p><p>Your leaving only sharpened the blade.</p><p><br></p><p>Today I stand where I once dreamed to be,</p><p>With hard-earned success surrounding me.</p><p>The tears are gone, the struggle is through,</p><p>And I finally became the man I knew.</p><p><br></p><p>You left before my flowers could bloom,</p><p>Before my sunrise chased away the gloom.</p><p>I don't need revenge or words to explain</p><p>I made it through the storm, and I rose again.</p>
