Go ahead and try.
Try to siphon the happiness from my life.
Try to break me down again.
Try to crumble my spirit to dust.
You won't succeed,
For I am strong now,
Stronger than I have ever been.
I have made peace with
The wrongdoings committed against me.
I have made peace with
My shortcomings.
I have made peace with
The fact that not everybody will
Love me or even like me.
I no longer need your approval,
I no longer need to look
In your direction to be happy.
I can be happy all on my own.
So go ahead and try.
Try to destroy me all you want,
You will not succeed.
I am strong enough now
To stand on my own two feet
Without meaning against you.
I am strong now,
And I will not succumb to your torture again.
