Literature Text

I've lived a life
Of being put down
But I've put away my strife
I put the past behind me

You can't move on
While your looking back
On your past life
With an old pack

I found friends
Good ones at that
To all of them,
I tip my hat

They love me for what I do
For what I am
They know me for me
And not as a sham

I'm not
What the hateful say
They're not worth my time
Not the light of day

Now I'll walk
With my head held high
Towards a new horizon
Under a clear open sky

Now I'll walk
Over the waving sand
I'll walk with my friends
Who fight and stand

Now I'll walk
In the clear air
With amazing friends
Who treat me fair

I said I would move on
And I keep my word
I walk for the dawn
With friends at my side

So come now
If you'll walk with me
There's a bright future waiting for all of us
Just you wait, you will see
For all my amazing friends and watchers who have stuck by me through thick and thin, your the absolute best!

This is so very inspirational, and it has a feel of coming out from a very dark place to an open bright space, where they are many new possibilities and opportunities to look forward to. The idea of walking with your head held high I like, it's almost like yes, I may have regrets, I may have done things wrong, but I'm standing here now and I'm going to live my life to the full, I'm going to live for those who aren't here; because I know that is what they would want me to do, they would not want me to waste the life that has been given me, they would want me to grasp every opportunity of being happy with both hands, they would want me to let the sunlight in and start afresh.
I relate to this very much, and I also so think that this poem is a lovely present to all your friends; it is very heartwarming and it gives a sense of hope.
