My Controversial Self

I am strong, yet weak
I am warm, yet cold
I am happy, yet sad
I am kind, yet harsh

I am quiet but my presence is felt by all
I am charming but many pains hide beneath
I am small but great power resides within me
I am full of life but life I no longer seek

I have felt happiness with the little moments in life
I have felt anguish with every misery that I have faced
I have learned to enjoy the simple pleasures of life
I have learned to forgive those who have wronged me

I obliterated the chains that once held me prisoner
I defeated the demon that once demonized me
I overcame the challenges that once overcame me
I forgave myself for being myself...
