I whip my tail and bare my teeth
I am exactly where I want to be
Scared for my life and fighting, biting
The hand that feeds me touch denying
Lift me by my scruff and I will bite
I'll break my legs from falling this height
Drastically decrease the time I give myself to breathe
I will pry open my own mind, before I succumb to peace
No time, I will not whine, I cannot 'fall gently asleep'
There's a shark lurking in these waters, and I need to get out of the deep
Everyone against me, means I'm eye to eye with all
The people standing on that cliff will laugh and leave me if I fall
But I stand tall, I am a mountain,
when I walk they'll all be shouting
I am breakable, repulsive, easily beratable,
But I am nothing if not barely, barely capable
