Sometimes I feel lost and alone
As if no one hears my words or understands what I mean.
I wonder if I'll ever be good enough
Whether I can get through school because I babble like a horse.
But sometimes I long for escape and peace
in the face of all the expectations and pressure
Trying it out is not even too early for the chest.
There are moments when I burst into anger
Because everything goes wrong and hurts me
But I won't give up, I won't give up now
because I know that I am strong and that my strength is still growing.
I will accept and embrace my sadness
to overcome my insecurity and anxiety
and to impoverish my wounds.
I know I'm not alone in my journey
I have family and friends too
They respect my way.
So I'm going to fight in school and raise my voice
to share my feelings and live my dreams.
I know
that my dreams are big and not always easy to achieve,
But I will fight and I won't let myself get down
Don't give up.
