Survivor

Your eyes are cold and dead.

Your chill defies the pumping blood.

It's dark and empty in your head.

Survivor.

 

You hope each beat is last.

Battle scars are hid with lace.

Reminders of forbidden past.

Survivor.

 

They are shouting in your ear.

They are whispering into hands.

Truths you don't want to hear.

Survivor.

 

You're still here small town girl.

You didn't shed the pain.

You sigh and feel consciousness unfurl.

Survivor.

 

Dare to try again?
