Still Breathing Through the Night

City lights on my skin tonight. Shadows dancing in my mind. I've been running

from the quiet. The silence knows me better than I like. Phone buzz but

I don't reply. Too many words, not enough truth. I'm smiling just to stay alive

while my heart's screaming through the blue. I, I've been falling.

I've been faint. I've been strong for my own sake. But every scar

reminds me why I'm still here. I still fight. I'm still breathing through the pain.

Still dreaming in the rain. Even when I'm close to breaking, I don't fade

away. I'm still breathing. Can't you see? There's a fire inside of me.
