Rise
~Katy Perry
I won't just survive.
Oh, you will see me thrive.
Can't write my story,
I'm beyond the archetype.
I won't just conform,
No matter how you shake my core.
'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh.
When, when the fire's at my feet again,
And the vultures all start circling,
They're whispering, you're out of time,
But still, I rise.
This is no mistake, no accident,
When you think the final nail is in, think again.
Don't be surprised, I will still rise !
I must stay conscious
Through the madness and chaos.
So I call on my angels.
They say,
Oh, ye of so little faith,
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it.
Victory is in your veins,
You know it, you know it.
And you will not negotiate.
Just fight it, just fight it,
And be transformed !
I will still rise !

GAME ON LIFE!
I lost it this time ,
was about to commit a crime !
Heard it from somewhere,
'Death's easier than Life' .
Thought that stopped me was
'I'm better than that' .
Felt weaker,
even though got stronger .
Cried a river ,
finally understood the value of tears .
In this mess , how would I survive ?
Especially when it hurts to even go on with this so called life .
It's like I'm all by myself .
And I don't even know ,
if it's a good thing or bad .
I'm way too light hearted
to handle this chaos,
I don't even know
how I managed to survive so far .
I need to hold on , believe that everything's going to be alright .
But every time I do ,
I get another reason as to why expectations disappoint you .
I trust god more than myself and
love him with all that I am.
I have faith in him and that he's gonna make it all right all over again.
But this time,
nothing seemed to make sense ,
not even my mere existence .
Felt like ending it all would be
the only solution .
I was about to do so ,
when recalled I'm here for a purpose. As of now , it's a reason I'm unaware .
But it's that purpose which I am yet to serve , relating to me being a warrior
and not just a survivor. So just for taking my own life , certainly I wasn't born.
Closed my eyes
and it felt whether I do so or not ,
I am still surrounded by darkness .
In spite of all that ,
I chose to pray
and acknowledge my inner strength while being grateful
for the precious things I still have.
Dying this way is not worth it ,
How blessed I am , I realised .
I know it's not gonna be easy
but I'm ready for it.
How worse can it get ?
In this situation,
I am expecting the worst anyway .
Game on life ,
I am that Phoenix which
when turned to ashes
rises again with a new spirit !
