Do you know just how much I've had to fight. How much I've been pushed, shoved, ignored, brushed aside, for me to finally stand my ground. I'm stubborn. They think I'm brave, I'm strong, I haven't been through much. They are right on about 1.5 of those things. Guess which. I am strong but not invincible. I don't ask for much. Just one good thing, one reason to get up, one reason to smile, one reason to stand my ground. 

 If a sword is strong enough, when you bash a sword against it the sword will break, or come out sharper. I thought I had cracked. One more hit and I would be done. But I think, what I'm realising now is that my cracks are scratches. I am sharper, I won't break. 

 As I said I don't want much. I will stand down if I'm proved wrong. I'm stubborn, not stupid. But if you wrong me and don't apologise then that's not stubborn. That's stupid. We will hit and one of us will crack. It won't be me.
