They threw me down... and I picked myself up... They broke…

“They threw me down... and I picked myself up... They broke my hands... and I mended them... They stole my laughter and I took it back... They killed my will and I brought it back to life... They tried it all again... and I came back stronger My will is my own, and I'll live this life on my terms.” quote by Anonymous
