Finally Confident
I wasn't always this strong
I wasn't always this confident
I wasn't always this brave
I've been real weak
I've been really insecure
Everything scared me
Little 'ol me wanted to fit in
Yet knew that would never be
Craved to feel understood,
that truly never felt accomplished
As i got older
The challenges I faced matured me
My wisdom came from falling
My strength stemmed from having no choice but to take the pain
The anger took control and out grew my confidence to not give a damn
I wanted no one to stand up for me,
but myself
Once I got to that point I knew I had it in me,
I strive to understand,
but never so much to be understood,
because that's an expectation no one has ever lived up to.
