I don't want it to be to late
Before you realise I'm at death's gate
Gently knocking hoping for a clean slate.

I'm not the perfect person you wanted or thought I would be
I make mistakes
Heck, I have countless weaknesses
I'm flawed without end
And I have an insecure mind

My heart is patched up

But bounced back stronger than ever

I am me
The one who was referred to as 'weird' and 'unstable'
But will soon be considered enviable

I am me.
A soul tormented from miles
Society had to tell lies

A mind
That has been taunted to early
By too many worries

Yet again,
This experience this journey
It was mine
My masterpiece
I got to see the various shades of people
I got to see those who...
