They say not to trust you,
Or that your heart could freeze hell.
They don’t know the beauty,
And love that your heart entails.
You’ve already won this fight,
Though they still try to hurt you.
You don’t stand as alone,
As you’re afraid that you do.
You’ve endured so much before,
And if you ever fell,
My heart would crack open,
As the world became an honourless cell.
You thought they stole innocence,
With a life of horror and chains.
But despite all the anguish,
Have you become so changed?
In the heart they had hardened,
Despite all of your fears,
I’ve found sweetest love in you,
And a light that will dry out your tears.
Do you know what I see?
The goddess you’re born to be.
I promise their sibilant lies,
Can’t mar what I see in you…
…From my human eyes
Author notes
One for Brie, inspired by Become by Goo Goo Dolls. Damn you for getting that song stuck in my head. 
Includes a variation on a quote i try to live by from Chinese philosopher and military strategist Zhuge Liang:
"Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered,
But those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid.
Thus the wise win before the fight, while the ignorant fight to win."
Pic is the work of photographer Jose Manchado not mine, more of his stuff can be found onf deviantart and so on.

This is quite a well penned poem and I can see where inspiration came from in that song. any ways I also felt that in a few parts of your poem that it had a mustical like fluidity to the poem. I really like the over all depth and creativity to this write. anyways nice work and keep up the gos work
