I am strength of the love of the earth
tell me now I know nothing of this world or the next
tell me now that the words I whisper along the winds
is but lies I have fabricated to hurt you like "everyone" else
Tell me I know nothing of the lives that can transcend
of the pain of physical fist into already bruised skin
tell me again how I know nothing of sexual abuse
for the one I had given my heart away to so long ago
found pleasure in my demise over and over
Tell me little girl how this long haul of pain
is nothing more than a figment of my mind
for I shall exclaim the difference of words upon you
I am the fire burning bright, the phoenix for one reason
I have risen from more fights than you have
and seen the world turn against me
blades drawn and blood soaked upon my throat
You have yet to learn to deal with the emotional destruction
of your own pain, do not speak to me as if I can not understand
try to rise from attempted rape and suicide cast with blood in your name
tell me that a heart knows little of rising above the authority in my life
I have come to know real hate in all its malice wearing the mask
of family who exclaimed that this gay shit can't go on under our roof
You have not born laughter for that which you love and treasure
close to your heart where the goddess continues to beat ever strong
Do not look upon me with such haste, I am strength in all its natural glory
I have known judgments casted upon my lifestyle
and betrayal of those who would try and claim a position
within the circle so tightly knitted about my world
the knives so deep still, that when I shift in thought
I can still feel their penetrating efforts to rip out my heart
Do not speak to me as if you reign supreme over us all
for you have little respect and little will to command
