Unbroken
My illness doesn’t make me broken
I could let it take my life from me
But I choose to grow stronger and rebel
My genuine thoughts are masked by a desire for perfection
I can’t recognize who I’ve become on the inside, so I critique everything on the outside
My genuine soul is here, simply hidden by insecurity
I have a voice and a song to sing
It is flawed, but it is true
If only I could speak up and let my words resonate
You could see that I’m still here
Not broken, just changed
