You will not break me
I will always get up
I know who is for me
So while you knock me down
I will get up
It may take some time
But I will brush off the remnants of your fiery attacks
I will bandage the stinging wounds
And I will give the empty aching bruises time to heal
I will look you in the eye and smile with blood covering my teeth
For I am a warrior, protected by the mightiest of powers
And you will not break me

I am great
I am fine
I will be fine
Maybe not today
Definitely tomorrow
Tomorrow came too soon
I am not ready to be fine
Maybe tomorrow
For today
I just am

it's in the quiet alone time when i have only me that i realise i have only me
sometimes i am enough but mostly i fear i am not

like dark waters inside you rise
lapping at the edges of me
slowly eroding my soul
the damage is subtle, not visible at all
until i looked back in time
and saw how much of me was gone
broken away by the continuous ebb and flow of your inky destructive blackness

Scars inside my prison heart
Scratch marks from within
Every surface scratched to shreds
**** near ripped apart

Scars outside my fleshy cage
Hidden well from view
From all the times he did come out
And take out all his pent-up rage
