Life

Life beat me down.
It left me battered and bruised.
But I stand my ground, 
I become immune to the tricks used.
No matter how hard I get hit,
I'll stand back up again,
I'll get through all of it,
If I get knocked out, I'll jump back in.
The scars that life left behind,
Show how strong I am,
These scars will always remind,
That I'm a strong lion, not a cowering lamb.
So I tell life,
"Come at me with with all you've got,
Come at me with a heated knife,
I will not fall, I'll stand, like it or not!"
