Verses by Val - Kick and Punch and Fight

Kick and Punch and Fight by Val

Being depressed is like being in a box
Everything is dark and still and tight
There's no air
The only way out is to kick and punch and fight

But the harder you kick and punch and fight the smaller the box becomes

That's when you realize that you have to breathe
You have to relax
You have to visualize your freedom

Then you feel the box fall away
You see the light
You feel the rush of fresh air

It's gone again
For now

I'll be ready the next time
I'll remember to breathe
To relax

But I'm sure I'll kick and punch and fight

Verses by Val - Countermeasures

Countermeasures


They attack us
They mock us
They measure us by the sum of our body parts
They examine our hair like its from another planet
They use us in their lyrics calling us out of our names

We learn
We love
We grow
We fight
We remember

They dissect us
They reduce us to numbers
They abandon us
They kick us when we're down
They laugh at our tears

We see
We hear
We nurture
We heal
We win
