I feel the hate, I feel the dread,
I feel all this inside my head.
I feel the love, I feel the great,
But even this is overtook by hate.
I want to smile, I want to be free,
But it’s like my own hate won’t let me be.
I want to feel safe, I want to be brave,
But the most I ever feel is scared.
I need to be happy, I need to be true,
I need to be able to see me through you.
I need to be stronger, I need new behaviour,
I need to realise I’m no longer a failure.
I wish I was someone I could start to like,
I wish I was someone who had more sight.
I wish I was someone who could feel free,
I wish I was someone who liked being me.
I know I can change things, I know what to do,
But I can’t do it alone, I need support too.
I know what I want and I know what I feel,
But I need someone beside me to say what is real.
These things will take time and these things will take strength,
But I’m willing to do this no matter the length.
These things are not easy and these things won’t be gone,
But there’s a life out there for me, I just need to learn to move on.
I am someone stronger, I am someone now,
I’ve been changing my life and I know you knew how.
I am someone happy, I am someone good,
I’ve become a new person, who deserves to feel loved.
