"Don't You Give Up"


Broken and abused,

But you choose to live,

To refuse to listen,

To the voices in your head,

 

Surrounded by choices,

Since the moment you wake,

It scares you not,

Regardless of the stakes,

 

For this day is fated,

In the way of your favor,

Don't fret over missed opportunities,

They'll come again later,

 

So stand with heads high,

And a chin raised up,

No matter how tough it gets,

"Don't you give up"
