I'm learning to look at myself and see myself as myself.

I'm refusing to back down
To give in
To anything.
Currently feeling like
My back is up against the wall
You better recognize
That the cornered animal
Comes out fighting the strongest
Fighting the longest
Fighting the hardest
Refusing to back down again.

I've got my gloves on,
Pistol in one hand
And Sword in the other.
My shield is strapped to my back
And I'm ready for war
Ready to rumble
Because I just can't take it
Anymore
What's in store
Is the surprise that there is fire
In this soul of mine.

I refuse to back up
I can't be moved
Tired of always being pushed aside
It's probably time
I got a little rude
And let these people
With their foolish, childish ways
Bang their heads up against the walls
Of my indestructibility
But I have to give thanks
Because that which doesn't kill me
Makes me stronger
Makes me hunger
And now it's time to feed.
