Life brought me challenges
and I chose to accept them
I stood strong
even when it broke me down
I didn't give up
even when I lost strength to go on
I accepted to follow society's rules
but then I stopped
I broke them and went my way
I loved but then stopped
I didn't cheat
even when I got cheated on
I tried to smile
when I wanted to cry
I gave more
even when I was given less
I learned to value myself
when others didn't
I didn't regret
even when I made mistakes
I've learned and am learning
and everything I went through
at the end
it made me who I am
and will make me who I want to be.
