Broken But Surviving
...." Broken But Surviving " .....
Inside a body that's broken and torn ,
Living a life that's empty and forlorn,
A daily battle of constant pain ,
Making my body take the strain ,
Arm hanging low,and barely walking ,
Tired and stuttering when ones talking ,
And each step makes me flinch ,
As I push myself inch by inch ,
There is no cure, no escape ,
No miracle, or a superheroes cape,
This broken body is all you got,
It won't get better, that's your lot,
Not easy holding on to every word,
Trying to take in what you've heard ,
Not easy when it sounds like the end game ,
The words going round driving you insane ,
But you got to keep going to prove them wrong ,
Keeping it real, not asking how long ,
For no matter what surviving is a must ,
Until ashes to ashes and dust to dust ....
