Survivor

A shield of rage upon me
Dead weight I cannot push it off
Felt your pain inside me
Trapping the thoughts in my mind

Strip away my dignity
Peel off my strength
Inside I am bleeding
And I just want my life back

Too swollen for healing
I push the fear down in
Today isn't a good day for rain anyway
And there are times and places for these things

Strip away my dignity
Peel off my strength
Inside I am bleeding
And I just want my life back

14, awkward, and broken
Normalcy out of my range
I will survive the days okay
But still feel I'm the one to blame

Strip away my dignity
Peel off my strength
Inside I am bleeding
And I just want my life back

Inside I am healing
And I will get my life back
