I thought I had been lost
But that would be misguided
I was so misguided
So deprived that I
No longer wonder why
My internal struggles are my armor
Misjudged as a burden
I know it's just a part of me
The label doesn't matter
But coping and adjusting does
Borderline but I'm fine
Bipolar and I'm alright
PTSD might've consumed me
Despite these and the others
I'm still human
I know I'm human
No more negativity from me
I'm okay, you're okay
That's what they told me
I'm gonna stick to it
Cause I believe in it
I now know my calling
It's time to love myself
I'm not deprived
I now feel so alive
Each breath crisper than before
My eyes are wide open
This is nothing to ignore
Time to explore my possibilities
Because with the knowledge I've gained
Surpasses the pain I'm not insane
I'm just looking to be enlightened
Prior to this I was frightened
And hurt and bitter
But I'll put it behind me
Because I'm not gonna be a new me
But the me to discover
