I Will Beat You

I see nothing but emptiness when I look at myself I lay in my bed at night, eyes wide I am alone in my head There are monsters screaming Making me want to give in Telling me to let it go you can’t do it you must give up It’s too late for that Do I let it all slip away? Or let myself be scared to be alive? The story I had to tell is not forgiving The feeling of everyone knowing is overwhelming They will feel sympathy for me But sympathy… is the one thing I hate I hate people feeling sorry for me But it comes with this pain Pain of feeling guilty, feeling scared Why would I want people to feel sorry for me They will see me differently But I am no different know that you know I am strong, and I can hold myself up I will be strong when I feel like breaking And when I feel like I can’t go on, When no one else is there for me I will rise up, I will push through You will see that I don’t need you You don’t scare me, I am stronger than you And I will keep fighting until the end of my time There will be times that I will be by myself But I know that no matter how alone I feel No matter how scared I am I can make it through this I have passed the demons of my mind I can pass through anything
