I'M Still Breathing, No Thanks To You
Remember how you said,
I would never make it?
Remember how you bragged
I would not survive?
I might be a bit battered
I might be a bit bruised
The mirror don't lie
It uncovers the lies
I walked away with just my clothes on my back
I walked away with my pride intact
You have stolen my innocence
You have stolen my humanness
But you did not break my spirit
You did not break me,
I can still keep my head up high
I don't have to hide behind dark glasses
Today I look the world in the eyes,
embracing a new life without
the unexpected brutality that
came with you when you entered my life…
*not a personal write, just a subject I feel strongly about*
