you left me broken
you left me in pain
you left so many words unspoken
you left me in the rain

but I will rise up
but I will break through
but I will not burn up
but I will not be blue

because I matter
because I survived
because I will not clatter
because I have lived

therefore you won't win
therefore you won't take my sanity
therefore you won't get a grin
therefore you won't take my humanity
