I'Ll Come Back Swinging

Many times I've tripped, even fell Felt as though I've walked through Hell I walked the flames with bare feet Still I rise from the embers without defeat I beat myself up day and night Always over thinking my every plight With every punch, every jab I get back up shake off the bad It's in my soul, I am a fighter I only know how to be a survivor My blood is thick, always pulsing I refuse to give in to the struggles Though sometimes my heart grows weary It keeps on beating, keeping rhythm My mind though sometimes confused It keeps on thinking, always dreaming I have only myself to believe in So many others before have let me down Though lonely sometimes I will always pull through Even if it means standing isolated to hold my ground So even if you see me descending in a scary fall Never count me out, like the Phoenix I'll rise above it all I'll dance happily within my flames of passion I'll rise from the ashes as another creation
