Tear open my wrists,
Cut out my heart,
Beat me with fists,
I won't fall apart.

I've been broken and fixed,
Too many times.
I'm tired of sympathy,
Just let me lie.

When you ask how I am
And I say I'm okay,
Though you know it's a lie,
Just leave it that way.

When you see that I'm tired 
And can't go on,
Just keep pushing me,
It will make me strong.

I need to be strong,
I need to be brave.
I need to move on,
I need to escape.

So tear open my wrists
Cut out my heart.
Do your worst.

I can't fall apart.
or Determination... not sure which title I like better...
