Building Character

I have had to sharpen my claws
I've had to bare my teeth 
I've had to love myself
And search deep underneath

I've had to build my crown
Out of lovers old bones
And I have reaped revenge
Due to the disrespect I've been shown

I've learned to hint at my beast
While showcasing my belle
I taught myself how to fly,
Because of that time I once fell
