I Guess I'm Pretty Tough…



I was thinking about it all tonight,
And I came to a conclusion or two,
I reckon I'm as tough as can be!
Cos of what my body has been through!
I mean, I've never taken life for granted,
And really, that's good that I don't!
And though I've been through the mire!
With this body, it's a cert that I won't!

Because when things are taken for granted,
I guess it's easy to forget the fact…
That life is so very fragile,
A bit like crystal glass!
But when things do go bad,
And you have to fight and be strong,
That's when you realize the fact,
That life is not there for very long!

So I guess I have fought my way through life,
Maybe a little bit more than I should,
Well, that's the way I think anyway,
Cos I guess that I fight good!
You see, it's a little like this!
I love this life I've got!
Even if it is a mess,
And this body should be shot!

I'm still here at the end of the day,
So yep, I guess I'm pretty tough!
Cos I have to be honest here,
I've really been through the rough!
Though I know there is someone worse off,
And I know that people have a hard time,
I still have to fight to stay on this place-
That we call earth, this place so fine!

Because bottom line is, I want to live,
Don't want to go to that other place just yet,
So I accept my lot, and stay focused,
Cos this is the only like that I'll get!
And though at times I slip and falter,
And though at times I have a good cry,
And though at times I get so scared,
I fight it, cos that's how I get by!

Give up?  No way, I never will!
Cos I will fight to my very last breath!
And when the time finally comes;
I will brace myself to face my death!

But Not Yet!  I Hope!!!

Cos lets face it, we're all gona die!
