I Am...


I am a flawed individual who's living day by day Been in an lonely dark place for too long, I'd to settle for less, which is wrong "What's wrong?" they'd ask day by day "I'm fine," would be my weak reply The way I felt, I didn't know why I'd make others laugh, and I'd hide my tears They saw my smile, not my inner suffering I felt alone and it was very unnerving. So I hid for too long due to my fears I'm scared I'm insecure And I'm simply not 'fine' Depression is an ongoing battle But I'm not giving up Im strong and I'll continue getting back up So don't think this war is something I can't handle Who am I? You ask Im a survivor Stronger than ever Fighter, that's my name Cliche and kinda lame But you won't hear me say never
