Rise Above It All

They called me names in the hallway every day. Tried to break

me down in every way. But I held my head up high,

I wouldn't fall. Their laughter echoed, sharp like a knife.

But I swore I'd rewrite my life. I rise above it all.

I won't stay small. They can't hold me back. No,

not at all. Every scar they gave now fuels my flame.

Look at me now. I've won the game. They whispered lies,

tried to make me doubt. Told me I'd never find my way out.
