I am

I am strong, yet afraid
I don't know why this is.
I hear laughter,
I see darkness.
I want to feel the light.
I am strong, yet afraid

I pretend to be courageous,
but I feel it slip away.
I touch the last remains.
I worry for the future,
I cry for the past.
I am strong, yet afraid

I understand not all is as it seems,
I say I know what's true.
I dream about better days,
I try to move on
I hope to live in happiness
I am strong, yet afraid
