Look, I know I may not be
Worth much to other people
Because I haven't really spent
Enough time looking out
For those I care for
Because I'm drowning in my own demons
And they've been winning for a long time
But what they don't realize is
I'm coming back full swing for once
And I feel myself gluing back together
And I feel myself smile a little more
And I feel myself experience life
Through fear and faith I swear
That one day my demons will be stuck
Under ball and chain
Because I've spent 19 years suffering
And wondering and coping
With what little I had
But it may not be today
or tomorrow, or the next day
But someday soon I'll do it
I'll stand up, bloodied and broken
But I'll stand up, for once in my ******* life.
