I don't want to cry today
I don't want to hurt myself today
I don't want to live in darkness today
I don't want to hate myself today
I don't want to hate others today

I don't know why,
But I know

I want to smile today
I want to be kind to myself today
I want to bask in the light today
I want to love being myself today
I want to love others today

I don't know why today is different
But I'm so glad it is

Justify yourself to me
What gives you rights
To just hit me down
And then build me up
To repeat the process

Carelessly you push me aside
From the depths I will arise
You’ll pay the highest price
One that may cost a life
