I Am Me

 

I am me

I am recovery

I am a wilted flower

But nobody knows my secret

Because nobody pays enough attention to notice

The truth is I have just blossomed

I’m still searching for the sky

But every day I get stronger

My roots are deep and wide

They are the reason I survive

Nobody knows my secret

Because nobody pays enough attention to notice

But I am beautiful

I am strong

I am life and all its imperfections

I am a mess

But you wouldn’t know if you only saw what I do

You may see me as a compilation of lines and curves

That doesn’t fit together

But as I look at my reflection

In this puddle of my dew drop tears

I see a diamond in the rough

Yearning to see the sun shine again

This journey is not over

In fact, it’s just beginning

I am life

I am me

And I’m okay.
