Why did I
Suffer myself
On things
That hardly matter?

I have a tragic past
And sometimes
It finds me in the present
But in life
It's childish to sulk
Over it all

Many times
I wished I could die
And the worst part
is that I even tried

While  letting go is harder
Holding on hurts so much more

Why did I ever fret
Over heartbreak
Over loss
Over silly things?

Now my path is getting clearer
And life shoots me down
Every time that I stand
And when I start to drown
I remember who I am

I am not going to
Roll over and accept my fate
I will fight against this world
Until my last day
The bitter hate
Won't slow me down
Because I am much stronger now
