I think I want to live
for the first time in my life
I want to be alive
I'm finally living
instead of surviving
Nev May 8
When the road gets rough and the nights get cold,
When the weight's too heavy and the fear takes hold,
Stand your ground- don't run, don't hide.
There's fire in your heart and steel in your stride.

Bruised and battered, bent but proud,
Still you rise, still you're loud.
Let the doubters talk, let the storms all rage,
You're more than a chapter- you're writing the page.

So tighten your fists and lift your chin,
The battle isn't over - you're built to win.
No matter what, you have to have that positivity and that belief in yourself. What good is another person's belief and support if you don't have any of that for yourself to start with? It all starts and ends with you.

Did the world proclaim we loose?
Or was it just me
Did it in fact not end when my heart exploded from the confides of my chest
Once oppressed now free on display in all its finality
The way it stops and shuts down
Do I stop and give up now
Pull down my banners burn my flags
Watch as it ends and sit and laugh
How I never lost but just pressumed I had
When I could have given up but kept going even when my vision went black and the world stopped spinning because I stopped winning but it doesn't mean that I'm finished it means that I've lost and thus by this logic I can still win
And so I claim this victory
For I lose such battles only to come back a thousand times stronger

if I fall
then she falls
then he falls
then she falls
then he falls
then she falls
then she falls
then she falls
then she falls
then she falls
then they fall
then she falls
until we've all fallen
got to stay up
moving in a year, might do it then
they don't have to know

even when i know the answer
it's still hurt the most
even when i'm an adult now
it never really healed

maybe it's just how life is
what comes will go
maybe it's just better for me
to stop asking why

You can leave.
and push me away,
but I promise  
I will always stay,
by your side
where I belong,
‘cause even if
you do me wrong,
it’s just me and you
so I’ll see it through,
‘cause don’t ya know,
I love you.

Watching yourself in the mirror crying,
knowing you are slowly dying.
Starving yourself to be skinny,
feeling really ignominy.

Trying so hard to lose weight,
not even remembering when you last ate.
Losing control of yourself,
finally understanding you really need help.
Food is now your biggest nightmare,
losing your beauty, hair by hair.

Recovery doesn't happen overnight,
but believe me it is worth the fight.
Keep trying until you get there,
some people will truly care.

Giving up is not an option,
just show me the real emotion.
Your feelings are valid there is no doubt,
don't be scared and let it all out.
