Yes, I'm Strong

It hasn't been a very good year

I've tried so much to remain strong

Every path I tread carefully

Yet every right turned wrong

I was pushed to the ground

A load of weight put on my back

As I tried to make sense of the hues

Every color soon turned to black

I crawled my way up and about

Wounded and bleeding through the way

I was tired but I didn't stop

Pushing myself up night and day

Nothing is easy when you are down

The true colors of people you see

Friends quickly turn to strangers

When I wanted help, only I was with me

I did not want to die down there

I was determined to see the light

With each step forward I came back twice

Still, I wasn't doing down without a fight

Emotions drained me out completely

I could only feel a void within me

Giving up was never an option

Finally, a ray of light I could see

I went to hell and came back

Dealing with blow after blow

I did not suppress my emotions

When the tears came, I let it flow

Yes, I am a valiant woman

But I'm only human after all

No matter how many days I spend on the top

One day everybody is bound to fall

Bottling up the pain does not help

Uncork it and pour it out

The anger inside will only pierce you

Spew out the venom, go ahead and shout

After this you'll find yourself again

Now it's all right, nothing wrong

When you're feeling down, chant this

I'm strong, oh yes, I'm strong
