Like a ball

In the neon glow I walk alone Every step echoes in a heart of stone Bouncing on cobblestones feeling so small Time's already chewed me I've taken many falls Kicked and hugged all at once Floating like a feather heavy in the months Underneath the rush shadows intertwine But in the darkness I'll find a sign I'm a ball or a dotted skin Time has chewed me from within They've kicked me hard but I stand tall Gathering strength here I will call I'll roll through the squares won't let go The hope within me starts to glow Thrown to the corner left in the dust But in every heartbeat I find my trust Resilience whispersYou're never done Each scar tells a story a battle won A withered skin frame I might leave behind But memories of joy are forever entwined And one day if I give in to the fight I'll be reborn shining in the light I'm a ball or a dotted skin Time has chewed me from within They've kicked me hard but I stand tall Gathering strength here I will call I'll roll through the squares won't let go The hope within me starts to glow In every heartbreak there's a seed that grows A flicker in the dark where the soft light flows So I dance through the pain embrace every scar Finding beauty in the struggle I'll go far I'm a ball or a dotted skin Time has chewed me from within They've kicked me hard but I stand tall Gathering strength here I will call I'll roll through the squares won't let go The hope within me starts to glow So I'll keep bouncing no matter the fight With every fall I'll rise reaching new heights A withered skin frame may fade away But I'll carry my moments brightening the gray
