Dear Trials, I'm still here

Dear Trials,

For 17 years you've kicked me

punched me

taunted me.

But it's a funny thing,

I'm still here. 

Every day I make the choice

to fight, 

and force you to hear my voice.

It IS a funny thing,

I'm still here.

Atimes it looked like you'd won,

All I thought to do was run.

But it's a funny thing,

I'm still here.

I could be dead,

I should be dead 

I deserve to be dead

But I've come out on top.

It's a funny thing 

I'm still here.

I'm still here.

Ya, 

somehow,

I'm still here.
