(not) strong enough

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
