I am vicious and brutal.
I stand tall and I struggle.
I have flown and I have fallen.
I can handle the pains of life
But it doesn't mean that I don't hurt.
I have things to say and walls of stone.
I can look at my reflection and see my flaws.
I can smile and mean it but the tears are real too.
I can handle the daggers you throw
But it doesn't mean that I don't bleed.
My angers are confusion.
My heart, it beats wildly.
All the struggles in my head surface.
I'm a snake lashing after being stepped upon.
I'm bound to break sometime.
I can accept but it can harm me.
I can hold tight while it all kills me.
I can't let go because I could lose it.
I can't show weakness or it could end me.
Why do I feel that life is only a battle?
