I'm made of blood and bone and skin

but of course, there's so much more

I'm not quite sure where to begin

I'm made of scars and red tears shed alone

some people think I'm made of stone

I'm not

you should see me crumble

I'm made of an intense desire to be loved

I've entered fakeships in the past

but they could not sustain me

luckily for me, I let my best friend save me

I'm made of promises, broken,

only because they were left unspoken

they say what doesn't kill you

will only make you stronger

I'm wondering how strong I need to be

some call me an oreo

I'm really made of pride

so because I am intelligent

I take the insults with stride

I'm made of lessons from my mother

things I could have gone without

she is the reason I've built walls

walls few have dared to climb

I'm made of a bad temper

one I've learned how to control

I'm made of opinions

no one wants to hear them

I'm made of wishes at 11:11

if I say them aloud, they'll never come true

I'm made of hope and dreams and goals

I can be, will be, am someone

no matter what she says

I'm made of mistakes

I don't believe in regrets

I embrace my past

but I'm made of moving on
