Fragile

I have felt the rain of my own sorrow 
I have faked my smile to make it through 
I have polished my halo because I tarnished it
I have sown my heart together countless times 
I am not weak because of the internal battles I have fought against myself
I am power and pride 
Standing firmly apart from the reflection in the mirror of perceived Society
I am me and that is it
