Life's Not Fair, But I'm Still Here

I wake up tired though the night was long Another day where something feels wrong This body's a cage no key in sight Fighting battles I can't win day or night Doctors' words echo cold and clear The life I planned keeps disappearing here I scream in silence no one can see The war that's raging inside of me Life's not fair but I'm still here Holding on though I'm drowning in fear Every step is heavy every breath burns deep But this heart won't surrender even when I weep The mirror shows what I try to hide A fading light a weakened stride I dream of running of feeling whole But these dreams keep slipping out of control Pills on the counter scripts on the shelf Chasing a future I can't find myself What's the cost of just wanting to be? To have a life that feels truly free? Life's not fair but I'm still here Holding on though I'm drowning in fear Every step is heavy every breath burns deep But this heart won't surrender even when I weep Every promise breaks like glass Time's a thief that moves too fast I'm tethered to hope though it feels so thin Fighting to find the strength within Life's not fair but I won't back down Though my body's failing I'll wear this crown Every step is heavy every breath burns deep But my spirit's a fire and it won't concede So here I stand though I've been through hell My story's not over there's more to tell The fight's not fair but I'm still alive And even through pain I'll continue to strive
