I’ll Rise

I want to scream
I want to cry
I don’t want to die
I’ll get stronger
This won’t break me
Perhaps it’ll make me
I’m not a quitter
I just need to rest
A moment to catch my breath
Then I’ll get back up
Maybe cry some more
But my tears I’ll leave on the floor
I’m not done
I won’t forfeit
I’ll make it through, I know it
Take one day
Then one more
Keep going until I soar
I’ll be okay
I just need a moment
To sit and weep and be spent
Then I’ll rise
Like I did before
I’ll show you I’m not done for
