I Got Myself – A Poem

Whenever I feel sad

Or bad

Or like crap

I don’t need anybody

To make me feel better.

I don’t need someone to tell me

That everything will be alright

And that I need to stay strong.

I don’t need someone to hold me

And wipe my tears.

Because I got myself.

Or by punching it

Or screaming into it,

I’m gonna face what I feel alone.

I am strong on my own

I can carry myself

Without counting on anyone.

I will put myself back on my feet

And I will share my story

In order to give strength

To those who fight on their own.
