I WONT GIVE UP,I WONT GIVE IN IM HERE TO WIN
NO MAP NO GUIDE JUST MY WILL TO SURVIVE
They said the shadows would never loosen their grip
That I would sink in the pit of my own guilt
Wispers of my failures tighten my chest
Every breath is a battle just a test
I have been to the bottom where the light dose not reach
Where hope is a language they do not teach
I hear the demons chant my name like a curse
The weight of the lies each one worse than the first
They told me to quit I would never be free
The chains I wore are a part of me
The fire inside of me still glows
I crawled through dirt fought for my soul beat after beat
When my legs give out Ill crawl on my hands
When my hands give out ill make new plans
It is not a fairy tale
Its my blood and sweat to prove them wrong
its waking up on thoe days I would rather be dead m
No map No guide just my will to survive
To look in the mirror and say I am glad I am still alive
The demons still knock but I dont let them in
The voices have become weaker than they have ever been
I will write my story again and again
So here I stand scared but whole
I wont give up I wont give in I am here to win

Let’s sing
I was playing the piano and singing when you called my name from behind. Often times, an outside voice like this would bring me to an abrupt stop to my music writing and make me feel like i’ve hit a brick wall. However, you are my music - the conversation we had was not an interruption but us singing in harmony.

We all have these demons, but of course we will win. Hang in there and be strong. Happy new year to you.
