I wish you'd just leave me alone I am tired, weak, and emotionally drained Would it just be easier to give in to you?   I realize now that I should fight How foolish of me to simply give up This is one battle you will not win It's your turn to back down and run I am the mouse and I've escaped this time The cancer inside won't eat me alive I am strong I am determined I will not let you win!
