Still Beating


There will be times when the battle seems lost,

But remember that your heart is still beating.

You don't have to give up now,

Just keep on fighting.

There will be times when you feel like a monster,

But remember that your heart is still beating.

You don't have to let your demons win,

Just keep on fighting.

 

Yesterday may have been painful but tomorrow is still coming,

It may seem like the end today but your heart is still beating.

I know that you find it hard to even believe in yourself,

But I promise that I will never stop believing in you.

I know that there are times when you feel like your rib cage is empty,

But I can still hear the sound of your heart still beating.

 

There will be times when you doubt your soul,

But remember that your heart is still beating.

You don't have to become that person,

Just keep on fighting.

There will be times when it hurts to smile,

But remember that your heart is still beating.

You don't have to crawl into depression,

Just keep on fighting.
