Back Bone

I will not be weak,
I will carry my burdens with a back bone.
I will look straight ahead,
and I will not turn around.

The pain that I have went through
will not hold me down.
I will be strong, and I will pull through.
the deaths, the heartache, the emptiness,

It will not tear me any longer.
It won't win. For I won't let it.
I've seen more than anyone should,
And I've seen many perish under pressure,

But I will be strong,
For the ones I love,
for myself,
For Life.

I am ready for anything,
I am strong.
