Fight for Me

Fight for Me
I cannot count the numbers
Their faces can hardly come to my mind
Yet everyday I open my hands to them
Those I fight for


This storm is overwhelming me I'm trying to weather it out somehow 
I stand on a slippery rock as the wave tries to dislodge my feet
Somehow I'm holding on
Somehow I'm still standing
Why won't anyone fight for me?


The walls are closing in around me
What I loved most I have lost
Yet somehow I'm never empty when another needs saving


This storm is overwhelming me I'm trying to weather it out somehow 
I stand on a slippery rock as the wave tries to dislodge my feet
Somehow I'm holding on
Somehow I'm still standing
Why won't anyone fight for me?


Don't ask me to give up fighting
Don't ask me to stop loving
It's instinct 
Don't ask me not to change the world
Don't ask me not to blow up this town
It's automatic
I'm so much inside me, I'm afraid of nothing now which is twice as terrifying as anything else that's ever made me tremble. 
I'm so much inside me, i don't let any break me. So everything tries to come up against my soul.


This storm is overwhelming me I'm trying to weather it out somehow 
I stand on a slippery rock as the wave tries to dislodge my feet
Somehow I'm holding on
Somehow I'm still standing
Why won't anyone fight for me?
​


Somebody fight for me because I can fight for everyone now, just lost how to fight for me

Girl With A Pen

I wonder if this time will ever end
And a time of fearless kindness ever reign
The things we do when our security is threatened
The things we do when we let fear have its way
 
I want to cry for a hero
Somebody strong enough to fight the monsters we create
Someone untainted by the greed that rules us all
Someone to put our petty fights to shame
 
Left alone we’re like a third grade classroom
The chaos erupts and the bullies find their way to the top
Our eyes are blinded to the systems we create
To keep the different ones from us to keep them stuck
Chorus
We might be so far gone Batman couldn’t help us
Superman we lost about twenty years ago
I’ve lost my faith in humanity
To change the bloody way it rules the world
I’ll try to stand in the middle of
The wrongs that suffocate so many beautiful dark souls
But I’m just a little girl with a pen
I am no hero

Beautiful Soul

​Tell me who you are
In your dark and shadowed eyes
Your drawn to the light like a moth might
And yet how much you hide
Tell me who you are
In your world of hidden truth
I know you hear every word I speak
But I hardly know you
 
You are a beautiful soul with the strength of a waterfall
A rugged shell inside holding a pearl
You are a mighty man with desires so unknown to us
And somehow I think you’ll change the world
Beautiful soul
Beautiful friend to me
 
How much do you fight?
In your world of unknown battles
Have you yet found peace
In your searching at all?
I see you when I close my eyes
And you seem so sad to me
But I know you’ll keep the fight
And I’ll watch you one day free
Chorus
