When I wake up with tears in my eyes, I survive,
When my head screams that I am worthless, I survive,
When I feel like there is no hope, I survive,
When I scream and beg for it all to stop, I survive,
When no one will answer that phone, I survive,
When I am lost, scared and alone, I survive,
And even though I don\u2019t know why I want to\u2026\u2026. I always will.
I was born alone and I\u2019ll die alone,
And even if sanity does not call my mind it\u2019s home,
If the skies and seas that I travel,
Are in fact just mud, dirt and gravel,
If reality is not mine,
Then I will not waste my time,
Focusing on what I do not know,
Cos my existence is too precious to throw,
The birds and the bees,
The sun and seas,
They fought me,
But they also thought me,
That life ain\u2019t for the weak,
And if you want a voice you have to speak,
Courage comes from fear,
Strength from weakness,
Gain from loss,
And hope from bleakness,
Cos when I am at my lowest,
That is when I shall thrive,
Life you will never beat me,
Cos guess what motherfucker\u2026.. I will ALWAYS survive!!!!!
