You can try to
Scare me
If you want to

You can call me
A Coward
If you want to

But, I'm not
Going to be afraid
Anymore

I guess, I'll try a new kind of courage

You can tie me up
And throw me down
If you want to

You can push me up
Against a wall
If you want to

But, you can't
Scare me
Anymore

So, here I am
Learning not to kill
Again

I guess, I no longer hate myself
I guess, I no longer hate life
I guess, I no longer hate love
