Survive

Laying on the ground,

Its two in the morning.

The winds have died down,

And in some way, I'm mourning.

Tar fills my lungs,

I can't help that now.

The taste is foul on my tongue,

Just like your name that I disavow.

The stars up in the sky,

Shed light on my darkness.

Just like all birds can fly,

But only to impress.

To show they're masters of their skill,

And I wish I could be one.

I wish to be up there, and feel the thrill,

But as I'm about to soar, you cease my run.

So I lay here alone, broken and bruised

I always try to pick myself off the dirt,

But you always refuse.

You keep me down here, so I can hurt.

You keep me down here, so you can fly.

But hold on to your wings,

Cause ****** I am going to survive.
