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.
