I will survive

I will survive it

You not getting me

Being misunderstood

I will live to tell the tale

Of how it was for me

No matter how many times

You try to shut me up

Or calm me down

Because you see

I have had to work so hard to be me

And not be dismissed

That my being no longer rests on you

And it truly gives me peace to say

I can take all this

Whatever you dish out

For over years of being beaten down

I finally found my strength

To much to be ever taken down

And you can believe it

When I tell you

I will survive
