You're standing on my chest and you're pounding on your own

I'm telling you now I am not something that you own

You're looking at me like I am something that I'm not

You better watch yourself cause you ain't got what I got

My perspective comes from a life of pain, but I wouldn't take it back for all the strength that I've gained

It's not easy to accept all these scars, but it's important that I do because they're mine, not yours

Here's to all of us who live day to day. I'm fighting and I'm struggling to know how to say:

You can't claim this or control me now. it's harder some days, but I'm still here somehow

Fuck you for making me feel this way, but I control this now, remind myself every day

Grateful to myself for all my strength, but I'll never forget that first you took it away
