Bring the Fight

They saw me as an easy target, and made my life hell
I was kicked while I was down, they laughed as I fell
I bandaged up my wounds, and wiped every tear I cried
Then I stood up even though they didn't expect me to bring the fight 

I've put my boxing gloves on
The White Mike Tyson, The love's gone
I'm not who you're going to get hugs from
Me against the world, I won't back down even when my blood forms

They Took advantage of me when I Gave my all
Recently I was Hit so hard it made me fall 
I don't mean physically, I mean my world came crashing down
And it was a much needed Wake up call

I never had any armour for my trauma
I fear my own mind more than I do Karma 
I've battled Suicidal thoughts, and even survived an attempt
I won't settle for anything less than a girl who's willing to kill to be with the ex Suicidal Prince 

I want a girl who's going to help me heal, not just come along once my blood dries 
Sometimes the prince needs saving in order to remain a good guy 
So much damage in a heart that's so kind and generous 
Because every beautiful girl I gave a chance to, turned out to be venomous 

Fathered myself, my so called dad died when I was 14, but he was never around 
I was swimming with the sharks, as he drank and watched me begin to drown
I got so used to pain, I fell in love with torture 
Until I found a pen that helped me keep my head above the water 

I never had a family and didnt need them, but I didn't need the bullies either
Both made me feel worthless, but never made me weaker
The boy turned into a king and survived 
Because I stood up and chose to bring the fight
