Silent Civilian

I look at the reflection of what I've become
Been witness to death and life, at times very numb
Scars will never go away but all is not lost
Focus on my strength today, no matter the cost
Breathe slow
Be whole
I feel the life inside me, it's all around
I will resolve this mystery of which I'm bound
This will be my funeral for who I once was
Rebirth of the will to live myself I must trust
So close, I'm reaching
Determined, succeeding
