Twenty 18

As sure as the sun would rise and fall each intolerable day, my faith in myself would fail So, every chance I could I'd give up, I didn't think I was enough, I just wished that I was somebody else 'cause I couldn't handle my fragile mental health I pushed anyone away I could as I drank away the pain and embraced my self-hate Change is good and good I made on a promise not to give up again This life I'd climb one step at a time All of this life I've been trying to be somebody else, but this year, I like me Three decades in now and finally, things change and I like myself, in twenty eighteen It's funny how some things they change when you take off the weights that were placed on yourself at a young age I cut the anchor that pulled me down, I swam 'til I found oxygen to breathe and I can be me again without needing to pretend that I am good enough By opening up I gained something called self -acceptance I quit looking at myself through cracked lenses All of this life I've been trying to be somebody else, but this year, I like me Three decades in now and finally, things change and I like myself, in twenty eighteen You see, I picked up the sad old story I wrote, that I thought was a joke, and I finally noticed the end, it wasn't finished I picked up the pen and vowed I'd write each day of my life while trying to describe the best that I can And although there's some conflict, they offer great resolution It's a story I will never quit It will always be a work in progress, just like me 'cause Change is good and good I made on a promise not to give up again This life I'd climb one step at a time All of this life I've been trying to be somebody else, but this year, I like me Three decades in now and finally, things change and I like myself, in twenty eighteen
