DRIVEN.  That's what sets me apart.  I might be really hurting and confused, and feeling really stupid about the decisions i've recently made in my life, but I never lose focus.

I might be really bleeding inside, and feeling like hell, but I never throw my self worth away.

I might get sidetracked but my dreams are always within reach, just waiting for me to grab it and never let it ever go.

I might be feeling sorry for some of the things I did, but i never succumb to self-pity or dwell in the past.  Every bit of experience, be it good or bad, ugly or beautiful was all well worth every emotion i've ever invested on it, or allowed myself to feel.

i might think less about myself for some reason or another, but i know i can be better precisely because i felt less about me.

i might be maimed in a way, but it has allowed me more time to grow the wings that will take me to further heights than i ever imagine i could reach.

i might have slid a little but lower into damnation, but it makes my soul all the more worth saving.

i might have given more than i should, but i got better things in return.

i am happy this way.  maybe a little bit lonely and alone and confused and misunderstood, and feeling a little bit of self-disdain every now and then, but nevertheless happy.

happy in a way that it keeps me going, keeps me wanting to achieve more, keeps me precisely the way that i am now.  Happiness keeps me driven.  And that's what sets me apart.
