Yes

Before I was strong
I knew what it was to be weak
How difficult it was to love myself
And find the wholeness I seek

Before I knew the light
I lived in constant darkness too
My world fell into hopelessness
So dark I couldn’t see through
I have cried the tears it takes
The courage to stand up again
Being broken down and bruised
You can only relate to the pain

How can I appreciate the love
If i haven’t seen hate
I forgot the meaning of love and laughter
My heart was left abate

Now I know strength and courage
It requires a lot to get it right
I’m facing the things that held me down
I gotta hold my head up and fight

Before I was who I am now
I was someone I didn’t want to be
I was lost, battered, and defeated
Before I knew how to be me‼️
