I Will Be Heard
Something about this room
Holds a ghost of you
In the dark it makes me cringe
Causing me to check shadows
When you dwelled here
Your words where nine-tail whips
Every vowel cracked mid swing
Each strike filling me with terror
Back then I was affraid
Terrified to stand my ground
I was small and you were not
But I have grown much stronger now
The fear you gave to me
A gift I couldnt understand 'till now
I was weak and affraid
But I hated that fear so much
That it pushed me to grow strong
Mighty and stable as an oak
I am never a trembling leaf
I am never the hand that yields a whip
I am the Wind through the trees
And I will not be silenced
