FOR ME

this is for me, for the things i endure
every minute of every single day
for the weight on my shoulders
for the knives in my back
for the scars on my precious heart
this is for me, for the legs that keep moving
and im still standing after all this time
for the callouses on my hands
for the bags under my eyes
for the sore muscles in my back

you'll have to kill me to stop me
i will not be broken down
i will not adapt
i will not adjust
i refuse to live for you

this is for me, for opening my eyes
for waking up everyday
for the aches in my joints
for the voice in my head
for the fact that im still breathing
this is for me, for the love still in my heart
i will always try again
for the dirt on my knees
for the tears in my eyes
for the maker in the sky

never give up
