Back against the wall

I was never weak and I have never fallen,
I simply put my head down in the face of it all.
I let the punches hit but they didn't lift me at all
Only in spirit, as I turn over this edge I stand tall.
I take pride cause all those punches did was open my eyes.
Even with my back now turned life comes as no surprise
Swing and a miss now dodge each punch with my life
No struggle to boast as the only path I walk is to strive
I look down and don't see the drop, only my drive.
I step forward only to stall as there isn't a drop at all.
Only a climb. All this time I've had my back against the wall.
