I accepted
Before I started to deny
Doubts filled my head
As I believed that I deserved to be dead
But truth be told
I didn't want to
I tried to take a breath of fresh air
But everyday kept getting harder to bear
My own insecurities got the best of me
I was left with nothing to spare
Hope
I've put my faith in you
You kept me going stronger than before
Push past the limits
To stop with all the wasted tears
Took a step back only to realize
That the life I've been living was filled with lies
Flaws and imperfections
I accept you
You are a valid part of me
I can't deny you
You are who you are, I am who I am
Don't dictate what I do, we are not the same
You rot in your lies whilst I bloom in my truth
I'm not going to bend my morals
To fit your perception
Don't judge me for you did not create me
I've set my standards
My boundaries do not cross
I can't carry on to survive
I've earned my right to live
