Resilient

Lost innocence and the hurt I carried inside 

Bruised ribs and the scars I had to hide

Tears from all the years of pain

Scared, I couldn't stop it from happening again

Using pillows to constantly dry my eyes 

Being tired and books became a way to escape the why's

Wishing I died, not realizing I was destined to live

Tried to end my life, but I had lessons and love to give

Turned my anger into words and regret into hope

Nature became my escape and how I learned to cope

The telling of my story it helped me heal

Knowing it's still good in my heart gives me chills

For once, I can look in the mirror and see a happy soul

Not the experiences that tried to break me 

But the ones that gave me this happy glow

You're my wrecking ball and you came busting through

This peace and I love I have, I never would of found it without you
