i know that i am strong
dont you try to tell me different
ive been through hell
but im still standing.
these eyes have cried more tears
than any eyes should ever cry.
this heart has felt more pain
than any heart should ever feel.
but im still here.
what does not kill me, makes me stronger.
many nights ive lied awake
wondering what would have happened
if i had not made my mistakes.
But then i remember
that while i cannot change the past
i have control over what happens now.
if it wasnt for my past
i would not be strong.
sometimes i have weak moments.
sometimes i live in hell.
sometimes i want to scream
sometimes i break down and cry
while all of these things
may be weaknesses,
gather them together
throw them at me, put them in me
and they give me strength.
this is me, who i am.
i know that i am strong.
i know that i will live on.
pain i have defeated.
tears have run dry.
i want to be happy....
its all I ever wanted.
i deserve it, ive earned it.
i am strong, and i will move on
