I am stronger than you think
You thought you could break me in half,
Shatter my soul and leave me alone,
But you didn’t count on my will to transcend

I am stronger than you understand
You cannot break me, The fire that burns within my soul, The resilience that sets me apart from the rest.

I am stronger than you know
Fallen, though continuously getting up again,Bruised and battered, yet never defeated,My soul remains unbroken, my heart still beating.

I am stronger than you acknowledge,
I have gone through things you couldn’t endure, Things you couldn’t even imagine

The weight of the world and the darkness that settles around me- I am stronger than you recognize.

I am no one’s victim; a warrior and a survivor, My heart is forged in fire,
My strength is molded from steel

I am stronger..
I will forever be a survivor
