Rise again
Within the depths of my soul
Lies unbearable pain
The type of pain no one would want to feel
Plus, this heart of mine carries a heavy load
That at times, I just want to explode
What can I do?
But cry uncontrollably
Until my tears become a sea
There's nothing I would not do
Than to rise again
And turn back the hands of time
When I was full of life
Still, I don't understand why
I'm not the same person I used to be
Back in the days when I was firm and strong
And completely stress-free
How I remember those times
Walking with my head held high
Now, in this day and age
All I do is keep my head down
Drown in self-pity and give in to sadness
It seems like a never-ending cycle
But despite the suffering I face on a daily basis
I will fight until I conquer and rise again.
