What is madness
if not the body’s way of crying out,
“Enough.”
It’s not betrayal;
it’s a retreat—a firebreak.
When the world turns unbearable,
the mind bows to its own mercy.
It draws a line in the sand
and declares,
“Here. Not beyond this point.”
I never needed you to save me,
‘Defy’ is what I was built on;
Personify fierce and courage
goodbye to every line drawn;
Shake up the entire foundation
take what you work hard for;
Rattlesnake venom on my lips,
firebreak I’m ready to wage war.
I’ve waited for a lifetime
Waited for smile like an end rhyme
I’ve listened a lot
Listened to voices that made me hot
I’ve lost enough
lost hope and mostly peace
I’ve climbed so high
Climbed Mountains and skies
I’ve played games
Games and won none
I’ve cried much
Much to be harvest with a handkerchief
I’ve lied to kings
Lied to kings and burnt my wings
I’ve seen mirrors breaking
Breaking like outbreak and firebreak
I’ve wanted a home
A home to be proud of alone
