People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.<br /> By Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross


You drive me down
Right into the ground
But I rise anew

Slam the ball in my face
Kick my butt to outerspace
Win or lose, I won’t forfeit to you

Outsmart or outplay
You can outscore me any day
But first I have a question and something to say

I can be beaten, not broken, you’ll defeated me
Still not defeated as you stand there and whip me
Still not defeated and you’ve dominated all day

I try my best and devote my whole heart
Even if it will just shred me apart
I will never back down

I give it everything I got with my toughest game face
Because sometimes when it looks like last place
My fate and the score turn around

And everytime I get up off the floor
No matter how hurt, who cares how sore
I refuse to walk away, I’m not giving in

So now that you’ve heard what I had to say
And you know exactly how I’m gonna play
I have to ask, think you can truly win?
