i am fearless
i am courageous
i am fine

i cry selfless at night

i am tough
i am yearning to fight
i am short-tempered

i once was burnt, now
i'm a dying ember

i am hurt
i am in pain
i am that vulnerable

i need to show it
i need it
i am indomitable

i want it
i want it, even just to show that
i am unstoppable

it stopped
it stopped
when my walls crashed down
when you wreck this person
i am perishable
