I am...

I am my own flesh and soul

Some say it's dark like coal

I know who I am and I am strong

No matter who tries to prove me wrong

We've all had our battles, trials, and errors,

but mine seem to outshine all other terrors

I've overcome unthinkable things

I've listened to those victorious bells ring

No other is as strong as I

Others have tried, but would rather die

They know the battles

They've seen me rattle

But they'll never know I've proved them wrong

For I am strong.
