I tell myself,
I will not give up.
When there is no hope of victory,
When my life feels meaningless
Amid my own people,
When I feel worthless
I tell myself,
I will not give up.
When it pains beyond my tolerance
I have no motivation, no reason to live,
When I regret my act of patience,
When I realised – I was born to give
I tell myself,
I will not give up.
When there is no light of hope,
When there is complete darkness in my life,
With my hands shaking
And my heart palpitating
I tell myself,
I will not give up.
When I have no answers to my own questions,
When I am drowning in deep
silence,
When I fail to cherish the present
And I brood over my past
I tell myself,
I will not give up.
When I have no money to celebrate,
When I cannot understand
Why do people discriminate?
Then I feel stronger, and not tame
I tell myself,
I will not give up.
When I fail every time I try
And it is really hard to clarify,
I look up to God
And I loudly cry...
I tell myself,
I will not give up!
