For so many years I thought
I was getting what I deserved,
A life full of pain—I must have somehow earned this fate.
That is where I was wrong.
No one ever deserves a life like that.

Now I know all the things I truly deserve,
And I will stop at nothing to claim them.

I deserve to genuinely enjoy life,
To live with less stress and more love.
I deserve a life encompassing joy,
Not a circle of endless struggle.

Sure, life will...
