Life's too short to live in fear of someone that you love,

Don't waste a second changing yourself its him that's not enough,

Don't let people in that lie, honestly, I stress.

Truthfully, dishonesty will leave your soul depressed.

Should anyone raise a hand to you?

You’d better raise one back,

Never show your weaknesses,

Or qualities you lack...

We’ve all been through horrific shit,

Some more so than others.

It’s made me who I am today

I'm stronger than my mother

Finally remember,

Never to forget where you have been,

Because karma sucks, and sure as shit

You’ll end up there again.
