Something has tried to kill me

Come celebrate with me

that everyday something has tried to kill me

and has failed.

Whether it has been my own mind

or the words of others

I have survived.

Being a woman is already a death threat on its own,

But being outspoken adds to the harm

that will come.

I have survived the harsh words that have

been thrown at me.

My mind has tried to trick me,

say the words it knows I fear.

Has tried to get me to end it all here.

But I refuse to end it,

I got a few more years.

Cause something has tried to kill me

and has failed.
