I'll Be My Own Queen

Cheeks are heating up
Tears slide down my face
What I really need now
Is anyone's tight embrace

How can no one see
That I'm still recovering
Walls ain't so strong yet,
But their knives are ready for killing

Did they ever think
That I'm fragile and weak
I'm still lost, please understand
Strength is what I seek

But one day I'll grow cold
Never will they see me broken
Arrows may leave marks
But the feeling will not be foreign

Someday, an indestructible castle will be built
Stronger than others you had seen
I am my counselor, my own protector
And I will be my own queen
