40 Years

40 YEARS

don't know why or how I still survive forty years of shame and torment don't know when I'll stop and say goodbye that's what forty years has taught me

been given this one life it's a gift that I'm still breathing I feel a fire deep inside I know it's time I start believing

didn't know I owed it to myself forty years of fear and loathing couldn't trust the world or trust myself forty years can bruise and break you

we're all incomparable so strange and wonderful all the d.n.a we hide we are one of a kind
