I’ve been through pain

And I’ve been ashamed
But I won’t let that hold me back


Words have severely beaten me
Like a rusty hammer to a tender knee
But I won’t let that hold me back


I have screamed and I have cried
Just like there were little bits of grainy sand in my eyes
But I won’t let that hold me back


I’ve looked into the foggy mirror
Thinking that life could not get even a little clearer
But I won’t let that hold me back


I’ve had a broken heart
And friends who have grown apart
But still
I won’t let that hold me back

I've gone through a lot in life starting at a young age. This piece helped be release all of the emotions I felt during those times, and how I kept moving on no matter what.
