I don't hate you
I have just realized
That I am stronger
Standing on my own
Then to balance upon your shoulder.
I am braver if I face my demons alone
To go face to face with evil itself
To fight my one hell with both fist's held high.
That I am a burning star
In the darkest of nights
I call out into the unknown
To show others that I am not afraid to be seen.
You striked the match
And let me catch fire
But I have learnt to burn so beautiful
And now
I will never burn out.
