Bruised But Not Beaten

You could put me down And turn my hopeful smile into an unhappy frown But you couldn't keep me down for long Because my mind, and my will are still strong You could call me all the names under the sun But you can't stop me having my share of the fun You could run me into the ground But always remember what comes around goes around You could shoot a hole through my heart But I won't let myself fall apart You could say I'm not that smart Or that I can't play the part But since I have found my art I have started to belive in myself And my health has improved Because I have moved on And this is because now I've realized all along That the things you used to say about me were wrong.
