I've been to the bottom,
Covered in self doubt.
But here i stand,
Fighting my way out.

****** and bruised.
Hypoxic and used.

I stand tall,
Head held high.
Ready to risk it all,
Just to get by.

****** and bruised.
Anoxic and abused.

I keep going.
Never backing down.
If i keep going,
I can't possibly drown.

****** and bruised.
Cyanotic and misused.

I may never make it to the end.
But ill keep fighting.
Every scar and every misstep.
Just another journey worth writing.
