Twist a blade in my core,
See how I keep moving forward,
Trip me up at a crucial point,
Later, I'll make it through unscathed.
When you're too busy for me,
I flourish in my own company,
As friendships fade into the past,
I grin, having learned to last.
Every time I've lost all hope,
I laugh, being such a silly dope,
When shadows darken every day,
I find my light in a different way.
You think you've left me broken down,
I rise again, without a frown,
With every lie and every tear,
I grow stronger year by year.
Twist and turn, inflict your pain,
I'll weather every storm and rain,
For in your games, I've found my strength,
Alive, resilient, at any length.
So go ahead, try to deceive,
In my heart, I still believe,
That every scar and every bruise,
Are signs of battles I didn't lose.
Alive the survivor, I stand tall,
Despite your efforts to make me fall,
In every trial, I'll find my way,
Stronger, brighter, day by day.
