I know how it is to be hurt, I know how it is to be…
“I know how it is to be hurt, I know how it is to be striped of everything you have. to look at yourself in the mirror and hate yourself. I know how it feels to lose everything you once stood for. I know how it feels to be ashamed of what others did to you. and I'm ashamed of what I did to others. my life is not an easy class ive probably failed it a couple of times. but what I do know is that I fight my own battles and I'm not ashamed of that. through the pain ive been through, ive created who I am now. I might be confused and unaware of what is going on, but I know I am 100x's better then how I use to be. I'm not afraid to show my broken pieces, because it makes me who I am.”
