Still Here

Something on my side built me up
 and gave me pride helped me cope helped me survive
 a choice in life
 helped me define myself in time
 of both body and mind how you live is
 Your choice
 I hold this close
 to me
 I know its hard enough as it is
 Trying to motion through everyday bullshit Growing up fast
 Seeing my
 Mother fall helplessly victim to
 Substance abuse
 Fuck
 If I'll ever become that
 A better life better chance
 Better plan
 Still learning
 Still listening
 Still searching
 For my myself
 I know its hard enough as it is
 Trying to motion through everyday bullshit This is for us the few left
 The ones still standing. Fuck what they think Still here. Still clean.
 For Susan Griffith, eating pills
 My brother Shawn, A drunk driver killed
 In this life
 my choice remains the same
 Forever unchanged
