Scars scattered on my skin,
Pain storming deep within,
Yet, I am proud to say,
I'm a survivor;

Catcalls are a norm,
Yet I don't wish to conform,
To the societal rules,
Because I'm a survivor;

I've seen life at its worst,
I've been through so much that I could burst,
But I won't let them be satisfied,
Because I'm a survivor;

They say I'm alone,
They think I am prone,
To fall into the shadows called depression;
Oh I'm a survivor;

They say I'm a poor child,
They say I'll run away wild;
But I won't do anything as such,
Because I'm a survivor;

They say I'm sugary sweet,
They say I'm a sheep that'll bleat;
Oh they are sadly mistaken,
Because I'm a survivor;

To you, I may look like harmless,
To you, I may look characterless,
But I'm a fighter through and through;
Life'***** me with a lot of punches,
But you must remember, my darling,
I'm a survivor;

I don't know,
Whether I'm high or am I low,
What matters the most is,
I'm a survivor;

I Am A Survivor--
Survivng a Broken heart--
A Broken soul,
But he doesn't know me very well,
So his false thoughts of Me--
Can go straight to HELL.

I Am A Survivor--
Of a true sense of Love,
To Feel flight And fancy,
The flicker of flames,
He will always remain the same--
I Will Forever Change.
I may have Bits and Pieces,
Time is healing these wounds,
For I feel like Learning--
Learning about Forgiving--
To only Be the Survivor,
Of loving to long a day with you.

I Am A Survivor--
Even though time for "US" is through.
Written between extremely abusive relationships.
Where normally definitions of relationships are defined.
From December 2006.
