While I would like to believe
That I am strong, that I am brave
I'm really not
I'm much weaker than I want to be
I'm not where I feel I should be
I've fallen short time and time again
But I'm getting there
My perseverance and motivation,
Although both tend to falter often,
I am trying my best
I am working my hardest
As hard as I can call it
I am trying my best
Every day I gather more of myself
Into a coherent mass
Deciding who I am to be
Who I want to become
Where I want to go
I have ideas in mind,
I have a path to follow
All I need now
Is the courage to begin
Begin again in a life better suited to me
