I never asked to be born this way
A light being meant to either fight the darkness
Or allow it to snuff out my flame.
I will never stab you in the back
I will never give you a black eye of the heart
By calling you names and putting you down.
Even if you decide I am beneath you
I raise you up.
Lo siento
I am so very sorry
Please do not judge me too harshly.
I used to be only a song you could
Make out if you put your ear to one of the walls
I put up to defend myself
I could be naked, cold and afraid
And no one would know.
Funny how you can fake a smile
in the rain
Even as tears flow down your face.
And I ask an old question
That waited since I was 14 for you,
Do you cry within your soul
So that no one sees you tremble
Is that where all your pain is kept
Do you fear that if I touched you
You would shatter
Into a thousand prisms
Each reflecting every shade of sadnes that
You have ever felt.
