I was burnt to my soul
crying like a child
Taking his pain without question
I was the one I you revile
Hidden from the world
this armor kept me here
But I never learned to live
only to misrtust and fear
I had to rescue me
face the pain and irritation
My hurt and pain went up in smoke
my body a great conflagration
But I already hurt the worst
and somehow I still survive
From the ashes I will rise
Not only exist, but thrive
I will never be that scared again
your memory won't make me fear
For I have taken the worst you could give
I'll brush you away like a tear
