They said all that worrying wasted our time,
Causing too many bouts of unnecessary pain,
Tearing apart our family again.
I said sure, it was hard but it wasn't a crime,
It happens to everyone but we deal and move on
Through these storms I learnt how to be strong.
They said that I haven't accepted myself
But I say I learnt so much through these tears
That it's horrible to be sad for so many years.
I found myself, I discovered my feet
And I wouldn't change my past if it wasn't me I would meet.
They said this depression was a waste of my time,
I say no - hold on there, I am who I am
And I won't change, I just know that now, I am happy.
