idk if y'all saw the last one, but please read it if you didn't! i really liked writing it :)
based of the song sang by the amazing Keala Settle
this is also kinda depressing.
JUST REMEMBER YOU ARE BOOTIFUL AND AMAZING
———
I am not a stranger to the dark
Hide Away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts.
I've learned to be afraid of all my scars.
Run away, they say
No one'll love you as you are.
I walk down the halls of school, days on end, as I try to keep my head down. I'm the "freak" of the school.
But they dont know how powerful words are. How much they break me.
How much I've started to believe them.
I wear long hoodies and pants everyday now.
Until you came.
You saw me walking home that day, you saw right through my shield.
You held me close.
But, I won't let them break you down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For you are glorious.
You built the broken pieces. You made me feel like I'm not a freak.
You made me feel special.
You made me feel loved.
And day by day, I grew stronger. I got more confidence.
When the sharpest words gonna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
I started to wear short sleeves again. People noticed, they talked, but I didn't let them get to me.
You, Five Hargreeves, with your sarcastic humor and infamous smirk, helped me.
Look out, 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on the the beat I drum
And I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
I told my parents that we're dating. I felt so much stronger with you by my side. To hold me when things got rough, to kiss me and say you love me.
You made me, me again.
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, Fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shake sink in
We are bursting through the barricades and
Reaching for the sun (We are warriors)
Yeah that's what we've become
People started to try to break me again. But this time, I had you.
You fought them off. You helped me.
I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious.
You made me feel wanted again. You gave me strength that I didn't know I had.
You let me break my shell, and become happy for the first time in so long.
I get to fall asleep next to you and hug you and hold you and do everything with you.
You stole all my firsts. My first kiss, my first date, my first boyfriend, my first love.
I love you. You don't even know how much.
And I know that I deserve you're love
There's nothing that I'm not worthy of
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown em out
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I'm meant to be
This is me
