My life by Michael Reid
Rhyming Poetry Contest contest entry

One step then two and before you know 
You're rushing headlong where you shouldn't go
The deeper you go the faster you sink
The less of you is going to think
 
I was fighting, I was down 
I was darkness like I've never known 
Crawling up a muddy slope 
But sliding down bereft of hope
 
It was from the bottom I could see
And what was once hidden was clear 
All the strength and hope I had left in me
Had chased away my fear
 
The words are just not in me 
To ever say I quit 
It's not about what life gives 
Just what you do with it 
 
So I turned back to that slippery slope
And I slowly clawed my way free
I had found myself, I had found my hope
And I stood tall at the top for me
 
Now I'm back with the power to perceive 
Who I am and what that means 
To see my goals and to believe 
And never forget my dreams
