STRENGTH AND INNER BEAUTY
I’m not a project
You can magically fix
No tools created
Or some box of tricks
Could ever repair
My type of damage
I’m not property
That needs to be managed
I want off of your stage
crowds won’t stand and applaud
Because I am too broken
I’m scarred and I’m flawed
Get me off of this pedestal
Or I’m gonna jump down
I’ve always preferred
To have my feet on the ground
And nobody’s perfect
Not even you
And I’d never judge
All the hell you’ve been through
I won't change who I am
When you can’t even see
My trauma helped build
My strength and inner beauty
