I am strong.

I am not defined by my wrongs.

I may cry and break.

But I will never lose my faith.

I put on a smile and laugh.

I'm not controlled by my past.

I never gave up, I faught.

I learned from my past mistakes.

And I built my walls up for my sake.

I put effort into my life.

And gave myself the will to fight.

I saved myself from the hell my brain created.

And I learned to keep my heart isolated.

I am strong because no one else can help.

I can only be saved by myself.
