Her father beat her when she was young
She survived
It became easier everyday to forget
she breathed

She lost her brother as a teen
Watched her mom die a little
She survived
It became easier everyday to dull the pain
she breathed

She left the abuse of her first love
She survived
It became easier everyday to overcome
she breathed

She understood when the love was gone
She came to resolve and left
She survived
It became easier everyday to let go
*she breathed
