Phoenix


I wish I could see the light, But that's a struggle, a fight. The past has made me stronger Indeed, I shall live longer Pushed against the wall, You sure enjoyed watching me fall, right? Is that what you wanted? ---- To take my life? You humiliated and destroyed me I was nowhere near free Pushing me to fences, scarring me For over ten years, you were a bully I am now afraid to be happy To be who I want to be But I am who I am I have dealt with bullies Some days I awake with no confidence Thinking; why am I still alive? Were we born to die? Were we born to suffer? ---- You sure made it seem like it You sure made me stronger And indeed, I shall live longer "Thank You" is all I can say, Deep inside, I hope something bad comes your way
