You are warmth
You are light
You are strong
You are brave,
But you don't have to be.
You don't have to be,
Not with me.
And i am fearful,
And i am shaking and shaky.
And i hate saying it,
But i am fragile and scared,
But not in the way you see me as.
I can be stronger
I can stand taller
I can be brave.
If only for you.
You called me a thief, but i'm just a survivor,
I'm a fighter.
I've spent my years
Fighting for my life
Or fighting for nothing,
And they ended up being
The same.
Because i came out
Swinging,
And though i was
A little less
Than the best,
I came out with a black eye
And a split lip.
You, being the light that drives me
Should be aware
That though
I love you so,
I'm stronger than you know.

And a split lip.
You, being the light that drives me
