As you are

Ask yourself, "is this who I'm supposed to be?"

"Is this all this world has to offer me?"

"Must I be surrounded by all this negativity?"

"What do I have to do to find serendipity?"

Think of what you've been forced to survive 

And be thankful for everyday you're alive 

Be grateful for the real people, family and friends

And for the loyalty that never ever bends

Forget about those who have been hurtful 

And all the people who only saw you as useful 

Because they aren't worth the time or the effort 

And you're better off without all the hurt 

Always face forward, don't dwell on the past

Cherish the memories, even if they are vast

Don't pull the punches, fight on and fight hard 

And don't let anyone make you drop your guard

This is exactly who you're supposed to be 

Even if some are just too ignorant to see 

Strive to be the vessel of your own changes

And you will overcome life's many challenges 

Don't stop till you're the best version of you

Never stop fighting, keep pushing through 

Above all just be yourself, despite the scars 

Because you are perfect, just as you are
