You have burned me down,
But through the flames...
I am still
BREATHING
LIVING
CRYING
SCREAMING
WALKING
RUNNING
LAUGHING
ALIVE
Not matter how hard you tried to bury me…
I am still
SURVIVING
LETTING GO
FORGIVING
HEALING
GROWING
BLOSSOMING
FINDING MYSELF
BECOMING…
A different person from the person
you tried to and are still trying to…
DESTROY
CORRUPT
MANIPULATE
CRUSH
TERRIFY
BEAT DOWN
CONTROL
This is my final creed to you
I promise you I will always…
FIGHT UNTIL MY LAST BREATH
HAVE AS MUCH COURAGE AS I CAN MUSTER
BATTLE FOR WHAT IS RIGHT
PROTECT AS MANY PEOPLE AS I CAN
LOVE LIKE I ALWAYS HAVE
FORGIVE PEOPLE WHO DESERVE IT
HAVE UNENDING KINDNESS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON’T…
Like yourself.
I won’t let you take my…
KINDNESS
BRAVERY
COURAGE
LOVE
SWEETNESS
PRIDE
HUMILITY
EMPATH­Y
I refuse to give you that power
- Out of the FIRE I was born again
