I told myself
Reinforced and believed
That I was not enough
To suit anyones needs
Outside the battle
Not one could recognize
That I was any different
When it came to my insides
Raging, the war fought on
And my mind almost won
At least a good 20 times
Before any break in the fight
Restrained by cement
At the bottom of seas
I struggled to break chains
And find strength
To resurface as me
Few are the ways, to weaken chains
But razors seem enough
Dealing with incurable pain
At least until one day
Sparks flew down
Under this sea
Brittling constraints
And I broke free

I told myself
Reinforced and believed
That I was not enough
To suit anyones needs
Outside the battle
Not one could recognize
That I was any different
When it came to my insides
Raging, the war fought on
And my mind almost won
At least a good 20 times
Before any break in the fight
Restrained by cement
At the bottom of seas
I struggled to break chains
And find strength
To resurface as me
Few are the ways, to weaken chains
But razors seem enough
Dealing with incurable pain
At least until one day
Sparks flew down
Under this sea
Brittling constraints
And I broke free
