Weakling

At second glance
There's simply being alive
It's been afforded a chance
Of which the dead are deprived

I've been broken before
I'll be broken again
There's no break I've endured
That I cannot mend

Stand idle waiting for the world
To drop the other shoe
I can lay down and die
Or see this one through

All these things we must undo
Script to unlearn
The journals to burn
The page I have turned
I am unbroken

I woke up today
Knowing I will survive
No longer a weakling
I am alive

And I'm not waiting for the world
To drop the other shoe
I won't lay down and die
And neither should you
