its a thought in my head
its a memory in my heart
its the pain in my chest
its the trauma in my head
it gives me these thoughts
it gives me these thoughts
it gives me these issues
it shows my mistakes
it shows my pain
it explains my actions
it explains my thoughts
it defines what i been through
not who i am
try to correct it and you'll be wrong
try to make it worse and you'll fall
its there for a reason
its there to stay
its my history
my mistake
my pain
its my story to claim
its harsh but i'm alive
i survived
