Even on the bad days when I'm struggling to go on I can still try my best to keep carrying on
It's tough to push through it to reach for my dreams but I can still keep going what else is there to do?
Sure, I might fail I might end up going backwards but other days, if I'm lucky I'll find just the right words
I can make a difference I can keep moving on Above all else I can still try
There will always be people that tell you that your dreams are wrong that you're not allowed to want something no matter how much joy it brings you
They don't care about your feelings Only in holding shut the doors to their minds Building cliffs of ignorance all around them So they will never understand
Ignore them
Keep fighting for your dreams Do it in spite of them Scale the cliffs of ignorance Exist to show them they don't decide what's right for you
And when you're standing atop the mountain beaming with joy and pride They'll be at the bottom Grumbling and groaning in their misery
Stand tall Stand proud And never let anyone else decide what dreams you're allowed to have

I took a hit and at first I needed to stay down to recover
I stayed curled up crying from the pain but my tears have stopped even if the pain hasn't
I can get back up struggling to stand and look the enemy in the eye so they know I won't stay down forever
What everyone needs to understand is that I'm fighting for my dreams sometimes, I need to stay down but I will always get back up
Because I will never give up
With your trauma you devoured my love With your narrative you silenced my voice With your self-hate you killed my self-love
So
With my will I cut you out With my words I revive my self-love With my wings I fly away free
Because my light is stronger than your darkness
