I can

Torn apart like a paper bagMy heart may not recover againIts tossed aside so many timesLike refuse but I refuse to die I will not give up or be forsakenI am strong don't be mistakenI will see my twilight yearsI will NOT! Live in fear..Of myself and my dark mindI must leave these delusions behind!I still have so much to giveI long inside to see my kidsTo see the smiles of my wifeLive a long and meaningful lifeTo help the outcasts just like meHelp them to strive help them to seeThat they like me are strong insideThat together we will all fly high To touch their hearts will be my callingThey will help me stop the bawlingThat I do inside my hapless mind A tortured soul inside I hide But I know now that I am right Too keep on fighting every night!!For this is not only my plight.  In this world there are so many Who need my hand to hold them steadyI will be there when they call Because I know I can be strong.
