I'm Strong

I’m Strong…

I’m strong because I have to be…

I’m strong because no one will be strong for me

I’m strong because I feel alone…

I’m strong because no one will hold me up

I’m strong because I am falling…

I’m strong because no one will catch me

I’m strong because I’m not a princess…

I’m strong because no one will love me

I’m strong because I’m hard to love…

I’m strong because no one sees the real me

I’m strong because I’m pushing on…

I’m strong because no one will help me through

I’m strong because I won’t back down…

I’m strong because no one will stand up for me

I’m strong because I’m me…

I’m strong because no one can replace me
