Because I Want too!

I maybe am the girl who people talk about

The girl with scars, slowly burning out.

They talk about the scars that I have

The things I've done wrong

I listen to the words they say

Hoping they will make me strong.

I'm not the girl I hoped I'll be

You can see the scars

But they have a deeper story than you can see

I'm not there yet

I'm not where I want to be

But I'm working every day to get there

And if you cannot see that,

if you can only see the things that I've done wrong

I want to say thank you!

Thank you for talking about me!

Thank you for hating me

Thank you for reminding me

That I have to be strong

That I am doing this for me!

It is my life that I'm living

Not for others, not for you.

No, I am breathing

Because I finally want too
