Paroles de Nevertheless (She Persisted)

I wrote my own ending Bled out from wounds I thought beyond mending I reached into the void The darkness touched me with her hands She kissed my forehead Whispered to me “Baby, it’s not time to meet me yet” Maybe that’s what hurt the most Not even the totality death could even bear to hold me close So I let go Tear down my walls And watch my insides blow apart Cause when I fall I'm gonna give it my whole heart My greatest asset My biggest weakness I’ll open up Because I chose to believe this I made a choice to believe this We preach compassion But then refuse to love ourselves Hated my darkness Still I couldn’t ask for help Still asking questions Waiting for you all to leave I cannot steep in love When I am loathing me I reached into the void And darkness touched me with her hands She kissed my forehead Whispered to me Baby, it’s not time to meet me yet And that’s when everything went still A single thought before I fell Compassion without compromise Can only thrive When I include myself Nevertheless, I persisted Nevertheless, I resist Nevertheless, I persisted Nevertheless, I exist
