Each fall left its resounding mark,
etched upon her courageous soul.
A thousand times she fell,
yet, rose with gumption whole.

Rock bottom understands her well,
like an old companion who called;
But she became resilient
when internal darkness sprawled.

©️Lizzie Bevis
I'm choked up inside
With no-where to hide
I crash and burn
As I live and learn

In a daze
Heading for the sun
I carry on  - I carry on

Life on a high tide
Is not an easy ride
On the run from everyone


In a daze
Heading for the sun
I carry on  - I carry on - I carry on

(Chorus)

Driven
By a fear that's not my own
Hidden
It's not my fault my heart is stone
Given
More than I can handle alone
I give in...
...knowin'
I'll never know if I've ever been forgiven
(record scratch to Queen sample)
Carry on, carry on
Nothing really matters...
...to meeeee
(speed/tone pitched down and fade out)

Don't give up, Don't give in;
Your existence is not by accident;
Your existence has so much meaning;
Everyday is a new day and a new oppurtunity;
No matter what you are facing;
Just carry on and Don't give up.

Lost my spark
where did she go?
I don’t know where to find her
they say she won’t come back 

I never got to say goodbye
Would I even be able to say anything to her?
is it growth, when you lost someone so pure hearted?
someone so joyful and loving

She probably got scared and decided to leave
she is a coward
it was all love though
never wanted to hurt
rather get hurt

Maybe she thought she could skip this chapter
Chapter of eternal pain
and return some day
who knows?

She should have been here
fought for herself
Now darkness took her place
she won’t be welcome if she returns
her kindness is not for this wicked world
I can’t be weak ever again
closure can’t be found
so I carry on
..
whatever that means
I haven't felt happy in a long time. I wrote this some time ago, when I was struggling to figure out who I was, it's a rocky road when you feel like you've lost yourself along the way, and when you have to accept that some parts of you won't be the same

May be
You don't really know
What madness is
Until you reach
That level
Where you are
Self driven

Once
You are mad
For sure
You will crave to be
Mad again

Keep moving
Genre: Inspirational
Theme: Better Human Project || Passion
Author's Note: How do we know, what we know? And the ordinary will never understand what madness is, and that moment you don't need to make them understand. Let it be the passion for life.

You may shove me
But I will still stand
You may call me weak
But I will still stand
You may say I'm a little girl
But I will stand tall
You may tell me I can't
But I will

And if it hurts
It worth
That’s all

Survive
And learn
Being too real
That's the way

All you have is
Hold on the hope
Breathing deeply
Believing the universe
Waiting for return
Before the world end

Theme: Just do it
