I won't lie, I'm scared. I'm afraid you won't get it Or won't even care. What do you do if There is a stranger when you Look in the mirror When you take a walk Afraid the entire time that Someone's behind you Live your first 19 Years in denial, confused. Lying to yourself When someone hurt you. As a little boy, someone, Took something from you All you can do is, Keep looking forward and up. But it can be hard To come to terms with, "I am still me, not broken," When I don't feel right Sometimes I get stuck, Sometimes moments pass me by. Sometimes I'm just numb. Why... Are people staring? Do I look different to them? I've done nothing wrong It's not every day. I've learned I am in control. I can be stronger I am in charge of, My happiness and my life. I'm ready to grow. I will not settle. I will own my life today. If I fall, I fall. But I will always, Get back up and face the day, As long as I live.
