I've been bruised,
scrapped,
torn down,
dragged in the mud.
I've been beaten,
defeated.
Bullied by my fears.
A coward from the fight,
I ran.
I've been broken,
mangled and burnt.
But from the flames of my pyre,
like a phoenix I'll rise,
to triumph over my fears.
I'll soar,
floating over the debris of destruction
i'll fly,
graciously leaving behind my past.
I'll win,
reaching for the highest rack.
I'm a survivor,
I'll surely find a way,
Any time of the day,
To finally have a say,
Somehow...
I'm a survivor.
