I'm Not Backing Down

My backs against the ropes
I'm hands up ready to defend
Punches thrown at me
To my head, legs and thighs
I keep my defense up
I'm not backing down
I'm never going to take to chance to get knocked out
I'll never go down without a fight
I'm facing my opponents
My hands held high
My feet ready to move
You push me into the wall
I'm still not backing down
Even when I'm cornered
I'm keep up my defense and wait till you tire
I've been punched
Bitten and bruised
But my feet are still planted
I'm the one that takes the beating
Get back up and I'm still breathing

My backs against the ropes
My hands ready to defend myself
I'm not backing down
You cannot break my hope

I Have Changed

I am strong
I was weak
I only saw my end as bleak
I am open to my new self
I am crying tears of joy
I went mental for a bit
I am battling with everything I have
I have hopes and dreams again
I finally found myself again
I'm not lost in darkness
I've returned to the land of the living
I want to live myself in fulfillment
I have a purpose

I am strong
I'm not weak anymore
I clearly see the road ahead of me
I am ready
