Do not tell me I am strong
I already know that I am
But do not tell me I am strong
If you can not see
The monsters I am still fighting
The battles I am leading in my head
Do not tell me I am strong
If you do not see my weaknesses
Do not talk about my strength
If it is to not acknowledge my pain
To disminish my efforts
And minimize my struggles
You do see the success
Of the wars I have been through
The fighter I have become
But if you can not see my losses
The scars on my body
The ghosts haunting my heart
The demons I have fought
Do not dare to speak about my strength
Of course I am strong
Stronger even than you can imagine
I had no other choice for so long
If you saw the bruises on my heart
You may wonder how I still stand
It is what it takes
To be strong
So do not throw this word at me
Like a foolish compliment
But be sorry
For the warrior who gave his everything
Who went through it all
And is able to stand in front of you
Be sorry for this disabled heart
Who struggles to live at peace
Knowing only how to fight and survive
And not how or when
To stop to be strong
