I was at my strongest when I learned to embrace my imperfetions
I feel like I have died, only to bask in resurrection
To accept the hurt and the pain of a past that made me who I am
To be thankful for angels in my life that cheered me on to win
I don't need all of the fancy clothes and all the flashy rings
None of those things mean anything, if I don't deal with me
I'm my biggest obstacle, my biggest task
The biggest test I could ever fathom
I call on my strength, experience and knowledge
so grateful that I have them
If I don't love me, then tell me who will, this world will never love me
From the people I love, to all of thee above
All they'll do is judge me
But they do not know me, they don't understand me
In fact they never will
If they spent everyday of MY life in MY shoes
They still couldn't tell me how I feel
I was at my strongest when I refused to let other people dictate my life
Too afraid to live out their own dreams, they cut mine down with a knife
They'll tell me all the negative, but I accentuate the positives
Instead of being weighed down by lies and doubts
I decided that I will live
And cry if i want, and scream if I feel
Whatever floats my boat
In this big ocean I call life, I've decided to stay afloat
I can't take back all the things I've said and done, but I won't get frustrated
I've chose to learn from them and in that sense I've elevated
I've elevated to a sense of self, a sense of finally being
I woke up from years of sleep and now I'm finally seeing
The worst thing in the world is to look in the mirror and not know who is starring back
To go your whole life, living a lie, I'm just not okay with that
I am at my strongest, now that I believe in every dream that I dream
That all I want is tangible, but it all depends on me
I am at my strongest now that I know anything is possible
I can't is no longer a word, and there is nothing too big or too little
I am now my strongest because I have learned to listen and depend on me
My life is what I've made it and I'm elevating gracefully!
