I am so tired
I have been strong for so long
I am putting up the best fight I can
But I'm exhausted
tired of swimming against the current
and pushing boulders up hills
I don't know how many more arrows I can pull
or how many more daggers my back can take
although my skin keeps getting thicker
I still feel them break through
the scars are all still there
getting through each day
with strength and difficulty
growing in direct proportion
