deep pools of blackened water
staring at me in the night
fear running up and down my spine
but I won't give up
without a fight

you can ogle all you want
but I'm not stepping aside
icy eyes looking me up and down
yet I won't give up
without a fight

my blood runs cold - breathless
determined to win this war
yellow stripe turning solid brass
and I won't give up
I'm back for more

deep pools of blackened water
staring at me in the night
the fear is now up in flames
and I am here now
ready to fight

I won't back down to you
nor step aside you see
my hair is now inflamed
and I am here now
for victory

backing down was part of the past
my will now is quite strong;
your icy stares don't scare me
I didn't give up
before casting you
back to where you belong
The more I thought about it... it went like this: It began a dark poem.... intentions of being afraid.... but once I began I was determined... felt it was time to stand up ... for those that cannot fight... for those that were mistreated... for those that have suffered ... so I shot back instead
