My Pain is My Strength


My soul is shattering every second of the day

Outcasted by hate in any way

As I fall my fate begins to fade away

But I say NO!

Remove the creators of my pain

Ban the creators of my rain

I will no longer be surrounded by shame

I can finally relieve my pain

For the first time

I feel alive

I am empowered

To fight my enemies

And take back my NAME!
