My smile is neither a sign of submission nor a symbol of satisfaction
My tears are neither a sign of fear nor a signal of sadness
I'd rather smile and face the world with a brave heart
Hide my pain within laughter and keep myself from falling apart
I might cry but not because I'm sad
But because my tears help me wash away every bad memory I've ever had
I might scream and shout and let everything out
A simple act to keep away any sign of doubt
For the first time in my life I wanted to forget
To back off from everything that can make me feel upset
I might be small and powerless and even though alone
But hey! Here I am today alone again, not able to forget but I've grown
My heart is stronger than before and my mind is clearer than a winter storm
