Warior
Bulletproof, she's just something you can't break through
Cold as ice, don't get too close or you'll get frost bite
She's fine china, with a wall around her you'll never scale
But inside so fragile, life and words have made her frail
She's a mighty warrior, her strength and mind they are her sword
She's a great assailant, her words and wit will leave you with gores
She's been tested and tested
Diseased and infested
With the viruses and parasites of broken promises and lies
And impromptu goodbyes
And now she'll deny
Feeling anything good inside
She'll tell you everything soft has died
And she'll continue to hide
Behind this well constructed facade
Because feeling is too hard
Her heart is too scarred
Her past is a prison and she is the guard
The bad memories that have kept her company for so many years
She's best friends with her agonies and fears
She's a warrior, but she's alone
Even though it doesn't really seem so
The problem with being friends with the darkenss is you can't see the lifeline dangled before you
Many a lifeline has come in her lifetime
But she's just afriad that they'll all go away.
So she sits alone high up I her tower, safe
Abandoned and scared, a voluntary waif
A childhood of disapproving words thrown her way
Has left her with nothing much left to say
She's a warrior in an army of one
Her armour is songs unsung
If only she's let herself be undone
She'd be the person she was meant to become
She is a warrior. She is my friend.
How I wish she would just let this war end.
