If I Were

I'm not that fragile flower you think I am, 
But if I were a flower, 
I'd be in full bloom, strong and bright, 
Swaying in the field of poppies, 

I'm not about to crack under the pressure, 
But if I were to someday crack, 
I'd show all these beautiful golden dreams, 
My onion-like layers, gold upon gold, 

I'm not a ticking time bomb about to explode, 
But if I were, I'd become the brightest star, 
A shining beacon to those in the dark, 
Destroying the dark and spreading fire, 

I'm not drowning in a sea of air, 
But if I were, I'd learn to swim, 
Back to shore and caress the sands of time, 
And look back to see how far I've come, 

I'm not a broken little girl, 
I am that warrior that men do fear, 
Winning all my battles, by own hand, 
Loving when I want, and whom I choose,

I am living my life in full bloom, 
Not in need of saving, or controlling, 
Thanks to my battles, I became strong, 
For now, I am that warrior of little girl dreams.
