i am not strong
because i have scars
to remind me that i am
i am not strong
because i once took a blade
to my hips and knew
exactly what i was doing
i am not strong
because i am still here
baring those scars

do not compare me
to how deep your cuts went
do not compare me
to the sound of your pain
i am not strong
because you are weaker
i am not weak
because you are stronger
