After long nights of crying,

Thinking I’m not enough

Maybe I am the problem

I have a low self-esteem

And my mental illness is just the source

I won’t let my mental illness define me

I am better than that

As for people taking advantage of that,

Failing to stick by my side

I am trying, and that is enough

I just won’t let people play

On top of my head

Yes, I’m tired

And I think it’s enough

I will learn to love myself more

I am just done with forcing things

If boredom will strike

I’ll just let it be

Cause it’s better than being surrounded

With fake peeps when you’re already going through a lot

After all the things I went through

I’ve understood that people don’t give a damn

And I must also stop giving a damn about their feelings

I will rise, I will shine

I will forgive myself; I will take the lesson

I will be fine as I will shine even brighter
