I am more than what you think
or what you assume to know
more than all the gossip
so much I never show
I am more than you
more than you will ever be
even when I’m down
there is still more to me
I am more than this moment
the one that tries to defeat
more than this setback
my heart will still beat
I am more than I realize
reaching down deep inside
to set free
all that lies inside

The past serves only one purpose, to make you stronger
to learn and move on
to let go and grow
to never look back always forward
Those who hurt you only serve to make you stronger
every lie and betrayal
every unkind word and deed
every fresh stab of the knife
only gives you strength
There is no life living in the past
dwelling on things gone and meaningless
there is only what’s ahead
the future and what you make of it
No need to live in constant blame
to reopen the wounds of the past
they are gone and done
and you can now choose to live stronger

It is the struggles that makes us strong
the daily trials as we go along
tests of character and of mind
it is in these true strength we find
Though these times may seem so dark
life is never just a walk in the park
with each one we grow a little more
becoming stronger than before
While we walk in the trials we may feel weak
the things about which we do not speak
pushed down by the weight we fight to stand
every now and again with a helping hand
The trials we face the tests of the heart and soul
things over which we have no control
they give us strength they make us strong
able to face whatever this life brings along
