You're standing on my chest and you're pounding on your own.
I'm telling you now I am not something that you own.
You're looking at me like I am something that I'm not.
You better watch yourself cause you ain't got what I got.
My perspective comes from a life of pain, but I wouldn't take it back for all the strength that I've gained.
It's not easy to accept all these scars, but it's important that I do because they're mine, not yours.
Here's to all of us who live day to day. I'm fighting and I'm struggling to know how to say:
You can't claim this or control me now. it's harder some days, but I'm still here somehow.
Fuck you for making me feel this way, but I control this now, remind myself every day.
Grateful to myself for all my strength, but I'll never forget that first you took it away.
