Not Far Enough

So you think you broke me,
My spine crushed,
My spirits low,
My body wracked with spasms of pain.

You think you have me in your sights,
My life is a mess,
My mind a wreck,
My soul on the edge of collapse.

Think again my fiend,
I am not as weak as you think,
My spirit still soars,
My mind is still strong.

You can't keep me down I bounce,
My body will mend,
My life will get better,
I am strong in my will to survive.

I have courage in myself,
I will succeed in life,
So do your best or do your worst,
You can not push me far enough.
