Fighting through the pain

YOU DON’T KNOW WHO I AM.

Remembering all of the times I used to go home crying.

After feeling that I had no self-worth

My mom would ask me if the tears were on my shirt

No motivation to even finish off the year,

Hearing those words coming in and out of my ears

My bruises were pallets of purple on my skin

Every movement was like a needle was stuck in.

To going to a new school for a fresh start

Where nobody has heard my story.

Finally used the depression and all those uncomfortable feelings

By making turning it into motivation and prove everybody before wrong.

My time has come where I have earned my respect

And now that I am in shape I have no threat

Even at times when I feel low,

I remember what hell I was in before.

From getting picked on

To standing up for those who do

My life has taken a twist but I’m still not through

My tears have dried

And now I know that I can get through any challenge

No matter how impossible it seems

In the end it really is up to you

Whether you make it break you of build you up and make you stronger

From trying to pick up all of the pieces of our hearts

Trying to survive in a world that is trying to tear us apart

I showed them that they were wrong

Even that I waited so damn long

For all those times I wish I could be gone

But I’m not

I fought through thick and thin

I’ve waited out terrible storms

Thinking that tonight is the night actually

Believing that I have lost this fight.

I knew I would be proving them wrong

If I just stayed and faked a smile.

But now that smile is no longer fake

For I have good friends for all times sake
