I'm done hidding

in the shadows.

Let the poeple come

with their words as daggers,

and their glares as swords.

Let the people come with their arrogance

that buries hopes and dreams

by throwing them aside into an abyss.

Let the people judge me

for I am more than meets the eye.

Let them tell me all of their lies

because I know the truth,

and I know who I am.

Let people hurt me

because I can be strong.

I may break and shatter,

but I can build myself again.

A new me that knows better,

and is stronger than before.

A new me that wants change 

and will open the closed doors.
