I woke up one day
And wanted to say
To all those whom I love
How they lifted me above
All that shame, all that hate
I'm still a kid learning to behave.
With so much love inside I still manage to be selfish,
I have a broken heart that needs to be replenished.
I dread my mistakes and those that others made towards me
I fight to be stronger and regain faith.
I have so much light around me,
my family and friends contributed to it;
and yet I still visit the darkness
transcending pain into emptiness.
To be nice they call me sensible
Truth is I am a coward.
I now see what I should praise
I now feel what I have to offer
I now look at myself and see potential.
I can resist life's mist and feel bliss
In darkness, in struggles and storms
I will lift my sword and grab the evil by its horns!
