Now i know what it's like..

It's easy, isn't it, to judge or condemn another human being?

When we sit on the outside and don't see what's really within.

I take back my words of dissatisfaction upon problems i hardly know,

For i've been thru an experience that has brought me to an all-time low.

I thought myself to be stronger and more courageous than most,

But how it hurts to discover that i am probably amongst the worst.

Am I overreacting or making too much of a simple situation?

How can I, when I've found out that I'm a huge misconception,

I am not brave, smart, independent or daring,

But in fact an idiot, a coward and just a meek weakling.

Life has proven to be not as safe and carefree for me now,

I can only hope that with each scary incident i will not just cower and bow,

But i will learn to fight and stand my ground,

and know that inside me is a strength so great and profound.

All I need is to believe and have the utmost faith in me,

To do what's right and be the person I expect myself to be..
