What I’ve Survived Might Kill You

What I’ve survived might break your will,
The fire I faced runs deeper still.
The storms that raged, the nights I knew,
Would tear apart the heart in you.

The chains that bound, I broke in song,
The path was dark, the road was long.
You’d call it death, I call it fight,
I carved my scars into the light.

So let the echoes prove me true,
What I’ve survived might kill you too.
Yet here I stand, with spirit high,
A soul unbroken, I defy.
