Because I Am Strong Poem by You... don't... want me...

Did you ever feel like you loved someone more then they loved you, more they could ever realise.

Did you ever feel like you were drowning under the weight of your own life.

Did you ever feel like you were slowly breaking, like every ‘swung’ that they took at you was taking you down a little bit more.

This is what I feel like, all the time and ever time I feel the slightest bit better something else happens trying to knock me down again….

Fighting for breath trying to escape
Drowning in my own life, stuck in this game
Release me from this prison, that I am encased
Rebelling against the constant waves of pain

I don’t understand what’s going on
I’ve barely lived, I’ve barely loved
I haven’t even done anything wrong
The only thing I’ve done is try to be strong

This isn’t the way I should live my life
Cursed by other people mistakes
Finding my way out this strife
I think I’m strong, that I have it takes

To overcome all that’s happened, all that’s be done
Not looking, ignoring the past
So that I’m able to face what’s to come
Refusing to become just another victim

You can swing at me
You can call me names
I am strong
I can take the pain

You can make me hurt
And treat me like dirt
But you will not break me
Because I am strong
