Some people say I'm not real, they don't know me at all
But their words just bounce off me, I stand tall
They judge me for the way I live, the choices I make
But they couldn't walk a mile in my shoes, for their own sake

My heart was broken today, shattered into a million pieces
But I'll rise from the ashes, my strength never ceases
The very word she couldn't say, it cut like a knife
But I'll keep moving forward, embracing this life

You say my house is on fire, it's just a dream
But I'll keep fighting, nothing is as it seems
Should I scream out in pain, or stay silent and strong
Who am I really, where do I belong

Life is a journey, full of twists and turns
But I'll keep pushing forward, my soul yearns
For something more, something real and true
I'll keep living my life, no matter what they say or do.
