It Is Me

A piece i wrote that now reminds me that i choose my own destiny

...nothing happens for a reason and there is no destiny - every moment we endure in this life is a predetermined consequence of one of our own actions...
for every time you held me up and for all your help
the help you so often throw in my face
i give you this

it is still me that wakes up and breathes everyday
it is still me that chooses to go on
it is me
i survive

you so often speak of how without you
i would never have got by
that without you
i would have failed to survive
to you i say this

i had a whole 21 years before i met you
i remember great friends’ huge parties and the feeling of freedom
i remember crying and having my heart broken and hurting
i got by
i didn’t quit
i kept going
i still will

no matter what you did for me
the good and the bad
it was me who did it
it was me who chose to wake up every day and breathe
i kept going

it is me

...i survive...
