The Weakest Don'T Survive

She's been broken and confused, Torn apart and left bruised Let alone on her knees She's been called weak, Tears until she couldn't speak She's lost herself once or twice Was told the weaker can't survive, Though still she won't leave her heart there to die She believes it's a matter of time before she does something right She wears her baggy shirts and her jeans just a little too tight When everyone is asleep at night, She lies awake crying herself to sleep They say the journey only gets tougher, Though she wonders just how much she can endure She's tried her hardest, Even though it's never been good enough She's finally face to face with her struggles, Getting through after all is only half of the battle
