Black and boots
It's who I am as the darkness consumes me
as it tries to eat me whole
I stand taller through my strength from within
I have the calm within the storm of my soul to stand alone
Yet I know that when the darkness comes too great
I can turn to those around me and show my fragility
I hope that as I can turn to you, you will turn to me
That as the black and boots that help protect my mask
I can let the softness of my heart be shown
They tried to catch me as I fell
Yet who is the one who stands here with eyes with fire inside
The scars burn my skin a reminder of what was before but now gone
Dare to question me for you know that the truth is etched within
I am built out of a delicate pattern
Fragility and strength interwoven together
I remember every cut and tear and am now learning to see them as a mark of victory
In time I shall stand in the light and not hide away from it
My eyes won't feel the burn of the sun upon them
The smile that crosses my face will not be cracked and broken in two
Would you see what I see if I laid out the pieces before you
Could you see the pattern of my own broken heart
They broke me apart so long ago
Who I am now is a stranger within the glass
She is a shadow of the person I was once before
I want to shed away the black and boots
To embrace the colours and shades of rainbows as I dance under the water
You can strip me down I will lie here still
Let me see who I can be
Show me the person you believe I can be when I'm not torn apart
I stand alone and I want to stand by someone' side
I deserve the love and life I was once told I would be blessed with
I want to set fire to the stage of the life you have made me act my way through
Sinking to the ground I feel it
The shadow of my past growing as the sunlight sweeps over me
I feel the warmth as I fear my strength is gone and I have nothing left inside
Am I broken and I reborn
Who am I
Am I just this girl in black and boots with tears and fire in her eyes
I shall find the answer from within as I pull myself upwards
Light and dark, wrong and right I am here
and God damn it.... I will fight.
