Truth I didn't want to know

I never wanted to figure out the truth
Because the truth can sometimes hurt
But the truth needed to be known

I am weak
I didn't think I could say it
I don't want it to be true
I never thought I would say those words
But it IS true
I am weak

Yet bit by bit
I'm coming along
I'm starting to become strong
But the fact remains
I am still weak

I'm like a little sapling
Only just beginning to grow
After a long, harsh, winter
Through the heavy snow
When all I wanted to do was give in
And die away because it was just so hard to take

Some people think that I would be strong
After Coming through my past
But I am still left dazed
Still left drained
I am strong in my own way
but in more ways than one
I am weak
And I won't lie to myself any more
I didn't want to say this
But I have no choice now
I must say this for my own sake
So Eventually I can be strong
This is the first step
I am weak
