The Life Affliction

I live inside of me

I will not apologize

I have a right to be

I've run away from the pain

I've stumbled and fallen

I rise up and get back on my feet

This will not be the end of me

I refuse to abstain

I meet my fears face to face

Sometimes I break down inside

Not knowing how to keep pace

I fall as if I've just died

But this will not be the end of me

I rise up again

No, this will not be the end of me

This is just the beginning
