I made a promise that if I survived,

If I managed to just pull through,

If somehow I found myself alive,

I would fight for me and for you!

 

They wrote me off and let me down,

So many assumptions made,

I couldn't swim, I was left to drown,

The price I have truly paid.

 

So many nights in that hospital bed,

I begged myself to just breathe,

I'd held on tight and made a pledge,

A pledge that somehow I'd achieve.

 

I'd achieve the chance to raise my voice,

In a way with composure and calm,

I told myself I would have a choice,

I would make them see who I am!

 

I'm someone with courage that they couldn't see,

My promise I know I'll fullfil,

They'll open their eyes to see the real me,

I'll fight back and I always will.
