Survival is the act of surviving and thriving under conditions that may be hard, unusual, or adverse.
To survive means coming out triumphant regardless of what you might have gone through.
In life, everyone has gone through one thing or the other that they have felt like they wouldn't survive; maybe it's the loss of someone you loved or someone making you feel less than what you are.
For me, after going through years of depression and suicidal thoughts, the word "survival" means a lot to me because I didn't only survive those moments, but I came out stronger.
The theme of this week's hive open mic is survival and I chose to sing Roar by Katy perry because this song speaks about overcoming challenges and rising back up when a situation or a person tries to knock you down.
It tells us not to let any obstacle or individual keep us down because we are champions and survivors
I hope you enjoy my acapella rendition of this powerful song and I hope you realize how strong you are.

LYRICS: ROAR BY KATY PERRY
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floatin' like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
