All the times I fought for what felt right
All the minutes I wasted worrying at night
All the angry faces staring me down
All the strength it took to get up from the ground
No matter how many times they laughed at my choices
No matter how often I had to ignore their stupid voices
No matter how many nights I fell asleep to my screams
No matter how many times I cut away all my dreams
Every time I am forced to look the other way
Every time I had to reassure myself it would be okay
Every time I choked back the angry tears
Every time I fought away all my darkest fears
