Words can shake up the world
they can make the tiniest cages rattle
they are what gives me strength
they are what I take to my battle

Note: This poem deals with sensitive issues and it's absolutely okay if you choose not to read this chapter if you feel this poem is going to trigger any past experiences or feelings that you have had, having said that I also believe the best way to fight your demons is to stop running and to face them head on :)
I gifted you a plant on your thirtieth birthday It was a token of thank you You received it with a bright smile But you knew what was coming too
I was a shy little glow of light Dancing on the verge of innocence So you visited me at night Until my body was bruised and tense
You told me to cover up my scars Cause you didn't want people to know So I hid them behind my smiles Afraid to let it show
Everytime someone asked me if I was alright My head shook yes but my eyes screamed no The courage in me had started to leak out And it was again time for me to glow
It's time I ripped your darkness open You better be thankful for the wait It's time I shout out to the world You were the predator I was your bait
I don't care if your perfect image gets tarnished I don't care if you're afraid of being caught Remember that plant I gifted you? It was touch-me-not
