Survivor Poem by Michelle Hanes

Through hardships and pain
Through fun things and gain
Through death and revive
I'm a survivor, I will survive!

They put me down
But I get up
They say to give but
I push away those thoughts

They curse at me but
I just zone it out
They yell at me but
I don't hear a word

They call me different but
I take it as a compliment
They say I'm strange
But I answer, says who?

Through hardships and pain
Through fun things and gain
Through death and revive
I'm a survivor, I will survive!

They trip me up
But I always recover
They put things in my path
But I always find another way

They insult me
But I'm always the optimist
They question me
But I'm confident in myself

They try to hurt me
But my attitude nullifies it
They try to do all this to me
But I'm too strong for it

Through hardships and pain
Through fun things and gain
Through death and revive
I'm a survivor, I will survive!
