Pretty Birds Like Me
Pretty bird like me,
Just set me free, I learned through all my tears and your foolish deeds,
I hope and I pray that you're well,
Your silly words don't harm me, but they sail
I search for peace beyond your words,
I sacrifice my anger cause it hurts,
And I'd hate and I hate what I've made myself
I'm learning to love beyond my health,
Don't you know that I'm just trying to be all I can be,
You hurt me in such ways where I don't know when i'll be free,
Free from it all, because one fight won't mean I'll bleed,
I learned to fight my battles with bruised knees
