Not Surrendering
Tears is not a sign of weakness, but
As endurance and a lot of strength.
My struggles do not put me in a rut.
I will never let the deepness and depth
Keep me from floating along. I will go
Through great strides and lengths
To keep living. I will always show
You and everybody else that I am
Strong enough. You will throw
Me a lifeline, but I do not give a damn
About you or anybody else who tries
To weigh me down. You are just a scam.
I want to be the one who always flies
And soars to new heights. I am a devil
And an angel. I will be the one who dies
And comes back. Life is always in dishevel,
But I will always continue to rise above it all.
I am no longer on that low platform and level.
Even with my back up against the wall
I will always survive and never be defeated.
When the world tries to make me feel small
I will be bigger. I will no longer be seated
While my bad times try to catch up with me.
Nothing will ever have me weak or depleted.
