Bigger,wider they stand before me

Louder,heavier they rage above me

Their words tumble like an avalanche, hitting me chest

I am out of breath, have nothing left

 

Ignorarnt and cold, they cannot see

Quick and biting, they try and take the life from me

Their laughter ripping at my seams

I am no being 

 

They make me feel 

They make me feel belittled 

They make me feel

They make me feel nothing at all

 

Yes I am small but I am a manifest

Yes I am small but large are my dreams

Yes I am small but mighty is my preservance

Yes I am small but I am a warrior

Yes I am small,  now a small voice in your head

Haunting you for all that you have said

An ache in your chest as you see and remember:

That small girl, who never spoke, never

But there she goes

And here I stay

She seems so small now

Perhaps that's because she was always on her way
