Tall


She paints her cheeks to hide the pain,
She whispers love in spite of shame
Fighting for truth, in a world, shattered in pieces
She wraps her scars in paper love
She burns and yearns,
What is this for?

I won’t back down again
I’m not broken
Anymore, I’ll keep hangin on
 
She tug of wars with weighted chains
She battles blues, wrestling, and remains
Fighting for free, in a world, battered and bruised
She unveils her face and speaks of dreams
She can’t make sense, to know it seems,
What is this for?
 
She proclaims,
I'm not broken
Anymore, I’ll keep hanging on, and on again

As this world turns me upside down
I’m not gonna let you, let me down
Anymore, world - You’re gonna find me, standing tall
She tears the tangled roots, out of her heart
She drowns the lies, with tears, transforming into art
Reclaiming joy, a masterpiece- She is someone to love
She dances strong with feet of truth
She dares to live, calling love back in, within her youth
Where pain tried to leave its mark
And grab and steal and snuff out her spark
 
I’m not broken
Anymore, world, settle your score
I’m standing tall
