I will not give in

by deeplydesturbed   Jun 8, 2017


I will NOT give up
I will NOT give in

I may have slipped
But I will NOT let you win

Every day a new test
to try make me sin
Every day I stand tall
and take the criticism

Every time im pushed and kicked
I just take it on the chin
The world piled me with the rubbish
Threw me in the bin

Yet here I still stand
with only my thick skin

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No matter what tends to happen
alcohol always runs my life
I am sick of being "the drunk friend"
continuing long into the nights

Yes I hurt those I love
everytime I take a swig
I'm not appologising each time I fail
I'm not some mindless guinea pig

I will fall and rise and fall again
yet I know it can be done
eventually I hope to go out with friends
and stop at a lonely one (glass)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This road forever travelled alone
feels like an Olympic marathon
the audience is my family and friends
along the sidelines cheering me on

    Ok I split it abit wrong lol but hey ho...

    N, firstly I am glad to see you writing again even if it's a little sad in places but I do feel the determination within this piece which is fantastic.

    1&2 Yes yes yes!! Determination and will power is the key here and I feel you have both. Loving the way you write and I truly believe they will not win and we all have testing times, some more than others but we (and you) will get through them.

    3/ I'm glad you take these things on the chin etc, live is never easy and I know you haven't had it easy either but it makes you stronger and some times thick skin is all we need.

    4/ as I have said before we all have our weaknesses of which we find it difficult to comprehend them but we do, sometimes all we need is time and love!!! O and alot of patience !!

    5/ This is one of my fave parts. If we apologised for each time we failed I would be constantly saying sorry but I agree we arent guinea pigs.

    6/ You will! I have faith in you, if I can do it anyone can

    7/ that ending brought me to tears !!

    Love you!!

    Em

    Edit: sings, you can. Knock me down but I'll get back up again (from the trolls lol)
