I’ve been kicked down

Been pushed around

Over and over but I’ve stood my ground.

These scars are

My battle scars 

Shining like the stars

High on the sky

And showing the world

How much I’ve been hurt

By the ones I once loved.

And this war still goes on

I’m holding my head high

And I bow not to break

Nor allow the gray

To take shape.

Everyday

I become stronger

With every step

I take.

Dear life,

Here you are

Staring at me

With the promise of setting me free

Andyou allow me to see

What the world

Really is.

You showed me how to bear

And carry out the pain

And deal with this dispair

That once again

Brings the tears with rain

You helped me repair

And with the words you shared

Helped me rise

With each advice

With each lesson.

You were always there

Calling my attention

Showing me that nightmares

Were not the poison

That was killing my life

With an imaginary knife.
