Learning To Live Again

We’re So Much Stronger Than Society Believes

We’re So Much Stronger Than Society Believes

Jul 24, 2021

I'll keep fighting
rising up -
we rise up.

you can't 
buy what 
I've got -

what we
have found.
Turn that
back around

hittin' it
pushing
fighting.
Never giving up.

Pushing back from
the darkness 
tryin' to take my life.

And everyday
I get up 
and rise.

I get up
cos I got wise.
You thought 
I could be played.

You got it wrong
(wrong)
(wrong) 
(wrong)

I'll keep fighting
rising up -
we rise up.

You can't 
buy what 
I've got -

resilience.

Yeah
hittin' harder
than any of you.

Walk a mile
in my head
tell me you'd survive.

No no no
you couldn't.
So don't stigmatise.

No no no
you won't leave me
demoralised.

I'm not
givin' up.
Not here.
Not tonight.

I've given 
too much -
fought too long.

You can't 
buy what 
we've got.

We rise up.
We rise up
yeah, yeah,

we're risin' 
right now -
walking dead.

Fighting.
Blinded -
the light's comin
right for us.

We don't run.
Nah we ain't 
runnin' no more.

You can't buy 
what we got.

This was a more lyrical style poetry piece that I wrote last year when struggling with my own mental health. It’s a nice reminder that we are not to be under estimated and we’re stronger than we believe & society believes. Having a mental illness does not make us weak, if anything we are stronger for having to fight our minds every single day.
