Surviving


You have always been told

How you aren't good enough

You have always been told

That you won't amount to much.

But look at you now

You have accomplished so much.

To bad all the others can't see

You've showed them all what you can do

Times are tough

Life is hard

But you have survived

While others are gone

Just make up your mind

You can do whatever you want

Just look at me

I proved them all wrong.
