Survival

I am sad because
I hate who I once was
But now I've become
Somebody who's not numb
Somebody who can feel
I'm someone who is real
Somebody who has changed
I'm someone who has hanged
Beside the gates of hell
'Till I decided to get well
Now I live a human life
After the ultimate sacrifice
Of the lie I used to be
Now I stand tall like a tree
Unafraid in a land
Of misery I stand
To show all
I've broken but will not fall
You haven't heard the last of me
And I hope that you can see
I'm standing on my own
My conscience has come home
And I'm not afraid of who I am anymore
Ever since I shoved my ugly self out the door
I am beautiful and I will rise
Because I am somebody who has survived
