I Wont Give Up

Once I wanted to surrender

But I’ll never give up

No matter what the problem

Or how bad I feel stuck

In a situation good or bad

If I give in

I’ll be giving away

What I have

No one can stop me

If I continue to strive

Believe in myself

Even if I cry

I will not be defeated

I have come to far

To let things discourage me

I am not who you are

Or what you want me to be

I live my life as I want to

Because my life is me

As I look at what was done

And who it can be overcomed

Or leave it as it be

The future I cannot see

To give up I can’t

Because there will be

A second chance

To do what is right

Life isn’t easy

Often misguided by sight

The things that you see

Only to find truth

If I set myself free

Understanding

That life isn’t always

What you expect it to be
