How dare you

How dare you say
I'm not strong 
Do you even know
What strong means
I picked myself up 
You weren't there for me 
I wiped my own tears
No one was there for me
How easily you said those words 
When each day I'm reminding me 
I'm strong. 
How dare you 
Build insecurities in my mind .
I am scared 
But I'm still standing strong 
I overthinked every possibility 
But I'm still not giving up. 
I'm broken 
But I know I'll overcome it. 
But you just said
You are not strong enough.
Simply five words 
Straight to my heart 
But my bleeding heart 
Still not giving up.
