ME 🖤

 Sometimes it gets so lonely

With long days and nights
I just wanna be my self
Not really because I want to
But because that’s what I’ve got

I was never prepared for adulthood
All the attached terms and conditions
That didn’t need my consent
But had my signatures and stamp

I’ve got to live by them
And get strong each day
By the stormy, cool, hot, calm
Whichever breeze decides to blow

There’s no urge to move on
On many days
But I’ve come too far
The only way on is forward

So I drag myself
With my scars and my pains
My victories and smiles
And forge ahead

I’m not backing down
And I choose strong
Even though it feels like a mirage
I choose to see light

I’m a strong me
A unique me
My story will give strength

Even as I continue to heal ❤❤
