Lets get it straight, my life is mine not yours or anyone else's. You got it all rearranged, I never said I am always right but at least I'm the one shining when its pouring, well at least trying to. 

You think I smile because life is all rainbows and butterflies? 
No, I smile because I choose to. 
Life is life, it's a bitch, we all know that so why do we play pretend? 

We all have strife and we will lose fights, it's only up to you to get back up and be prepared for the next hit.
You'll get blindsided and hit the ground so hard feeling broken and bruised, as if you'll never be fixed.
There were always helping hands..

I've been there and so many others have been.
Yes, I'm broken and bent. 
Yes, I'm bloody and bruised. 
Every time I had to give it my all to get myself up and get ready for the next feud, I brushed it off and smiled. 

Smiled a bloody smile to those there cheering me on in my corner. 

When it rains it pours, it sends you all to run wild carelessly for cover as if the world is over. 
That rain you all evade is what washes all that blood away. 

It's inevitable to evade life's trials tribulations. 
I'm not preaching, I'm no one to tell anyone how they should be living. 

We need to realize that we have no clue what others are going through and before bringing up someone else's issues maybe we should deal with our own. 
I'm sure we all have quite a few. 

So yes, storms will come. 
Run if you must but if there is someone caught in the eye of the storm that life can bring, I will not contribute in the pain leaving them petrified, frozen and left so frightened.

Help each other, have you all not noticed we go about life trying to smile putting on a front? 
I finally see now, I finally see how...

It was those rainy days that washed away the blood from my smile. 
It was those hands held out for support from those who were there when things got wild. 

Clothes may get wet, blood will be spilled. You never know what you're going to get, life may never be fulfilled. 

Call me crazy but I'll die running head first towards my destiny. 
I will not sit and wait begging on my knees, pleading for something promised like eternity.  
Please tell me, what proof is there that this could be? 

With a bloody smile and a glance back to those who have had my back; I laugh as I turn and run toward this storm called life. 
Remembering where I've been, learning from the past and only looking forward because I know who I have, what I want, what I need and that's what's right. 
Because I'm the one living my life.
