You sighed and said: “Make love not war.” But what is love, If it’s not worth Fighting for?

Love is a Battlefield
I confess That I undress To feel less Yes, My head is a mess But I’ll make up for it With what’s under this Dress Right? That’s the only way to get you to say Goodnight And the only way For me to do right by you Is to do you Right… So what’s the point Of putting up a fight?

Self-sacrifice
I went out to find Some value in me, So I sold what I had For little a fee. My eyes for a penny I sold to some fools, They're blind and useless, Mistook for jewels. My lips for a nickel To the sweetest sin, So they'll know the love That has never been. My ears for a dime I sold to a lover. To hear sweet nothings, And silence uncover. My hands for a quarter I sold to a ghost, So that she might feel What I've wanted the most. Finally my bones for a dollar I sold to the earth, But as for my soul- There was found no worth.

Unapologetic approach
Sticks and stones May break my bones, But words will never harm me? Sticks and stones Will break my bones When wicked words Disarm me Sticks and stones Can’t break my bones When my words raise Up an army !

Words are Weapons
Do not discredit your worst moments, They have brought you here You didn’t just become the beautiful Butterfly my dear Your trying past and triumphant present deserve equal praise For the pain lead to your transformation, So celebrate your caterpillar phase…

Caterpillar Phase
He never allowed me to move freely Or celebrated my rhythm Unless I did what he wanted And danced only for him…

They’ll call you a snake, And act like it’s some sort of sin That you have outgrown them, And shed them like old skin…

“She’s a Snake”
I was never yours To control, keep Or claim No man’s hands can capture A wild Flame

I wish her scars were on my heart and not on her arms.
