Stronger Than Misery


Misery swells and breaks the glass

Glass melted by misery holding me back

But I am strong

Stronger than misery

Misery points at me behind the bars

Bars of a cage that holds me back 

But I am strong

Stronger than misery

Misery taunts me from the dark

Dark foreboding swamps of pain

But I am strong

Stronger than misery
