i've been through
the toughest
the darkest
times of my lives

i saw myself
putting blades on my wrist
medicating myself with pills
inhaling and exhaling those cigarettes
to **** my soul
slowly, bit by bit

but i didn't stop standing up for myself
ever since day one
i tried again and again
no matter how much i fall

never thought that
i'm still here
living healthily
happily.
