I Still Have a Soul! (read this poem with epic score’s music by named that)

I had a good life ...

my dreams are heaven

there were those who envy me

there is a question for them:

“Is this your purpose?”

“destroying me?”

“no”

“I can bear it all”

But ...

They set a trap for me

They assured me

They have gained my trust

And one day

they gave up on me!

they have betrayed me!

they made fun of me!

they humiliated me!

and I

my heart cries

my heart was broken

I was weak

I was a coward

I’m tired of life

I hated life

my family has left me

luck left me

but one day

I decided to change everything

that’s enough!

I’ll be strong

I’m gonna be happy

I’ll be lucky

that is why

I wrote this poem!

I fight constantly

i will not give up on my dreams

I am supported by God

I am supported by my family

I’m eager

I will never give up!

just go ahead!

Go ahead!

Go ahead!

I will not stop

never!

never

never!

***

...goodbye, cowardice
