New piece
-This Is Me-
A perfect star. Perfectly shaped defined to its points.
Small yet powerful. Brighter, bigger than color.
Shines so bright even on its own.
You want to hold it, don't you?
Cherish it and let it guide your way.
But I am so far away ((you can't handle me))
Free as a bird. Soaring above so high.
Flying and reaching much higher than you.
Dark, soft. Fragile but stronger than the storms.
Think you can save me, right?
Take care of me when all my energy's gone.
But I am moving beyond ((you can't hang with me))
(HOOK)
This is me, now. Take me or leave me.
I will shine as I am, I will be who I am
Right where I stand.
This is me, now. Take me or leave me here.
I will shine as I am, I will be who I am
Right where you stand.
These are my scars. Let me tell you my story.
A paw print. A grid or whatever you want it to be.
Tiniest precision with a harrowing past.
It's a mark of survival. Forever ingrained on my face.
Mama never loved me enough.
Left fool, drunk men to watch over my nights.
His knife lost its fight against gravity
Crashing down on my cheek. Six times.
Damn right, I can survive.
Can't you see, I can stand? ((you can't handle me))
I went crawling through a window comin' after this kid.
Who thought he could call me a "fag" forever.
Glass shards cut me deep and I bled nearly dry.
But the fear on his face was worth all the blood in my body.
You cannot scare me.
You cannot move me.
I have fought throughout my life ((you ain't stopping me))
(HOOK)
