My soul is clawing me up inside. Yet i still strive. My soul wears away with time. Yet i still strive. My mind screams at me like a warden to its prisoner. Yet i still strive. My surroundings cage me like prey within a venus fly trap. Yet i still strive. The fire in my heart roars and dies but never balances as it sears me alive. Yet i still strive. I can feel my shoulders crumble from the weight of expectations slowly crushing me. Yet i still strive. I can feel my vision of bright skies and bright futures fade. Yet i still strive. I can feel my throat close in on itself, forcing me to watch my relationships from afar. Yet i still strive. I can feel the eyes on me, watching me, waiting for me to fall. Yet i still strive. I can hear death tempting me with his sweet lullaby of everlasting peace. Yet i still strive. I can hear the echoes of my past calling my name, screaming my worth. Yet i still strive. I can taste the tears of all my sorrow, the salt bitter and sad. Yet i still strive. I can see the shadows of my former self, hating me. Yet i still strive. I can see her point her finger at me and ask, "why do you even try?"
I answered, "because i know that I'll get by." For the people who care for me, For the times that i have suffered, For my happiness, I'll strive.
