Survivor

I am a victim of this world
Trapped in a cage of depression
I'm told to be strong
To destroy my obsession

I am a victim of rape
It haunted me for so long
No longer do I think about it
I'm trying to stay strong

I've mastered my disease
No more eating disorders in my life
I have learned from my problems
Conquered the knife

I have left the pills in the cabinet
No more attempts at suicide
Sometimes I think about heaven
Then remember how hard I tried

I look into my mirror
No longer do I hate what I see
I've learned to live with myself
To accept what I'm becoming to be

I've learned from my mistakes
Never will I forget the tears I cried
I know everything will work out
It's just a feeling inside

I no longer wish to alter my life
There's no need for change
Doing things like that
Will only cause me more pain

I've lost so much heart
But I will gain more
There's no need to cry
Because now I'm a survivor
