Always Keep Fighting

Reed Trisler 1987 (Cleveland)



Always keep fighting

I know how you feel
Like you’re broken you’ll never heal
You look in the mirror and hate what you see
I’m inside your head you can’t lie to me
I know how dead you are inside
How you wish you could find a place to hide
I know how worthless you feel
Wishing none of this was real
Are you just gonna give up?
Just gonna lay there and die?
You’ve survived this long you’ve never wondered why?
You think you have one card left to play
But that’s only one card today
Don’t lose to you sorrow
If you give up today there is no tomorrow
I need you to stand up and fight
Please hear me don’t give up on life
To live in peace this is your right
Appreciate each day, and cherish every night
