Now I Know, Now I Live
I tried to kill myself,
Took a bottle of pills.
Life is hard,
And I was uncapable.
But now I know, and now I live
All that we see was once one.
The trees and the stars,
I was one of them too.
Now I know, and now I live.
My oppressors and my bullies
My rapists and abusers,
They were one of them too.
Now I know, and now I live.
Whether it was God
Or the Big Bang
We are here either way
And as a cell in Earth's awesome body
It is my duty to keep her alive and well
Starting with me
Because I am awesome
And every breath I take matters so much.
Now I know, and now I live.
