Even in this morning weakness
I stay strong and can I keep this
Song playing inside my head
Feed this hunger that's never fed
Brush this darkness off again
Remember this maybe grab a pen
No one can persuade me
Or make me die with envy
No one can consume me
You can't be my enemy
I don't expect you to understand
I won't expect you to take my hand
My precious self continues to sustain
More than often I feel pain
But what is life without this feeling
I'd be an incomplete human being
Nothing to compare the good from bad
Wouldn't know if I'm happy or sad
Keep my chin up with all this mess
Maybe just maybe I'll pass the test
Life goes on before we know it
It can show us love from hatred
I'm strong at heart and in my mind
Look inside and you will find
Scratches and scars of all sizes
Jewels, gold, and similar prizes
Even though I've been through much
I'm warm and gentle to the touch
So maybe one day I won't be lonely
Maybe one day she will find me
I will always be myself
Because to me that is all my wealth
