Because I Survived


For all the things I'll never be
For all the things I'll never see
For all the nights I've spent alone
For all the dreams I've never owned
For all the tears that washed my face
For all those times I fell from grace
I'm everything I am
Because I survived

For all the love I'll never find
For all the poems that never rhymed
For all the emptiness inside
For all the ones who ever lied
For all the sadness and despair
For all the ones who didn't care
I'm everything I am
Because I'm alive

For all the self inflicted pain
For all the times it didn't rain
For all the words I didn't say
For all the times I lost my way
For all the darkness in my light
For all the ways I tried to fight
I'm everything I am
Because I survived
