Poetic Justice Poem by Romeo Della Valle

From past mistakes made,
I learned my lesson well
When fast was my falling
And slow my recovery
But still paying the price
For my youthful mistakes
Of yesteryears!

Getting back on my feet
Has never been a game
That only a fool plays!
It has been the struggle,
It has been the ultimate fight
For self-preservation!
The survival of Love and Peace
Within me!

Through the passage of time,
Many questions were raised
But clear answers not found!
Moments of truth faced
When my own existence
I foolishly questioned!

Faith and Hope
Magically prevailed
Within the chambers
Of my tormented mind
And broken heart!
I bravely endured pain
But also I dearly found
The essence of love
For Mankind!
Realizing once and for all,
That it was worth the struggle
And it was worth the fight!
