As I listen and look back
I see where I was
where I went
where I've been
how I've fought
how I've hurt
how I've cried
And I'm glad for all of it
because without it I wouldn't be here
and I'm happy here
with my flawed self
I'm happy
All the fears, the lies, the pain, the lies, the hurt, the tears, all of it

it got me here
and I'm just starting to like myself

Then one step back.
why.
