I have looked failure in the eye..
And promised that I will succeed..
I will promised to get back up..
Every time that I have fallen..
I have survived the things..
That meant to break me..
It has only made me stronger..
Even a tiny bit stranger, What hasn't killed me..
When every bone in my body screamed to give up..
I kept going, for it wasn't a choice..
I have cried my self to sleep..
Where only my pillow knows the amount of tears I shed..
I have plastered a smile on my face..
To brave the cruel world..
While I was falling apart inside..
I have always answered, "I am fine"..
While silently screaming..
I have worn many masks..
Hiding the true pain..
No one knows the extent of hurt..
That I have overcome..
I walked through hell..
And came out more sure of my self..
After fighting so much chaos..
I still am my old self..
Smiling through tears..
With a devil may care attitude..
So despite your judgemental glances..
Patronising little head tilts..
I know I am beautiful inside and out..
And my conscience is clear..
I have a redeemed soul..
And that is more than enough...
