beautiful broken
perfect scarred
they are all out there
don't look too hard

they spread their wings
to welcome you in
don't try to resist
you won't win

they are powerful allies
loyal without fail
they will defend ferociously
with tooth and nail

when you find one
pretty quickly you will know
you can't hold on too tight
eventually you must let go

i woke up one day
and she was gone
i guess the burden was too much
she couldn't keep dragging me along

she made me unstoppable
pushing through boundaries
but her ultimate gift was fully realized
when i learned the strength
came from within me
