Louder than death

I think my life will be a constant war
Between love and uncontanable joy
And empty shells peeling and floating away
But my heart beats louder than death
The love and passion that spark at my fingertips
Will be brighter than the afterlife bleeding in to my vision.
My arms will be strong from carrying my pain
And my heart will beat louder than death
I will dance with every swirl and twist of my soul
And I will cry harder than I ever thought possible
I will create and I will break and I will hurt
I will love and I will inspire and I will burn with the force of thousand suns
And my heart will beat louder than death.
I have only been on earth a short time But 19 years in hell feels like ninty
And through the agony and misery
I have walked, I will crawl when I must
To this moment, this point in my life
Where I can finally hear the whisper of my breath
Feel the warmth in my veins
Appreciate the strength in my body
And hear my heart beat louder than death.
