I used to think I was different
Now I see I am unique
I have a special place
In the vibrant world we live
I watch the world go by
Each and every morning
All the different people
With their different stories
A unique mind
A unique story
One which I’ll hold
One which I’ve told
One which is mine
And mine alone
I know I’m strong
I’ll keep fighting on
I used to think I was different
Anxiety gripped my mind
Frightened to be myself
I let life pass me by
But now I’ve found some happiness
I thought this could never be
Time heals us somehow
We find a way to break free
A unique mind
A unique story
One which I’ll hold
One which I’ve told
One which is mine
And mine alone
I know I’m strong
I’ll keep fighting on ‘cause we all need understanding
We need the space just to ‘be’
To be heard and tell our story
How we managed to break free
To accept ourselves for who we are
The strength in what we’ve survived
Inspiring others to do the same to hold our heads up high
