I am me
I know no other way to be
I couldn’t be you
You would not do
I am not perfect
But then…who is?
My life is still worth it
This game? I’m still in
There were times when I lost
But I got up again
My confidence shot
My sanity, defense
Time and time again
I’d rise
Through blindness
I’d open my eyes
My right now
Would be dark
My surroundings
…stark
I’d look up ahead
See a glimmer of light
Get back into gear
And pick up my fight
I accept who I am
Work with what I have
The fire within fierce
My gaze at me now pierce
In the mirror
I see
I am me
I know no other way to be
