Lightning strikes,
As I dream of ways,
To make you understand the pain.
It’s the game you played,
With my heart.
But watch me
As I show no pain,
Because I won’t let you win.
Each time digging the knife in deeper,
Straight to my heart.
I want to fix things,
Finally make them right.
But as we lower our weapons,
We build walls to protect us.
Bombs fall, sulfur rises,
Burning my eyes with tears.
Your wall doesn’t falter,
But I’ve had enough
I break mine down.
I stand up for myself
Against your cruelty,
Because it’s time I defend myself.
