Because Of You

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
Because of you


- Kelly Clarkson


3 years ago this was me..
Now i am not afraid and have been set free.
God is now my strength, the power in me.
I don't believe it's weak to cry,
it's the strongest thing you can do.
I hate fakes and refuse to be one.
I am real!!

fakes, plastics, barbies... theyre all the same... but we can be proud to say that we are something they will never understand... WE ARE REAL! We can be proud to be ourselves! We can be proud to be way the Lord made us!

You have come such a long way.
It is amazing when we look back and remember who we used to be.
Never be hard on yourself, you may feel weak at times, but it is when we are weak, God IS Strong!!
