I am a Survivor

When life gets hard and I can't bear to move on, all I have to do is remember that I am a survivor.... 

I survived all of the pain and hurt. 
I survived all of those hurtful names. 
I survived all of those painful beatings. 
I survived all of those lies.  I survived all of those times I was hungry. 
I survived all of those cold nights. 

But, most of all I survived all of the obstacles and I have come to realize that I cannot change my past, but I have become a stronger, wiser, and better person because of my past.  So next time I feel like I just want to give up and life is getting so hard that I cant bear to move on, all I have to do is remember I am a survivor.  I am going to make it,  I just have to work harder because I am a survivor.  So I stand here today, tall and proud, telling you, I survived!  I made it and so can you!!!
