i wont succumb
to the pressure
i wont fall back
into my old ways

i want to live
and i will fight
to thrive
in a world
full of
survivors
and victims

just okay
isnt enough for me
i want exhilarating
i want thrilling
good can take its leave
and make room for great
if it isnt too much
then too bad

i will fake it till
i make it
and when i make it
ill throw out the fake
and replace it with
realness

if that isnt what life is about
then ill live life
wrong
ill live life my way
and ill see it through
even if i crash and burn
i will
find
a
way.

-- even if your lungs burn; keep breathing.
