Fear Her
No Plagiarism!mqkLmQaYhh76yUs9Irwqposted on PＥNAＮＡ

It’s about pain                                                                                        

It’s about courage                                                    

It’s about choice

It’s about choosing 

It’s about finding 

Finding your voice 

It’s about me

Flirting with death 

In the pitch-black void

It’s about pain 

It’s about courage

It’s about choice

Hi stranger 

Hi child of the universe 

Hi my fellow 

Child of the sky and earth 

If you love me 

You’ll let me make my choice

If you fear me 

I’ll go alone

It’s about pain 

It’s about injustice 

It’s about toys 

It’s about cruel men

Hiding their cruelty

Behind grand words 

It’s about me 

Being cruel 

Cruel as fuck 

It’s about pain 

It’s about injustice 

It’s about toys 

Hi stranger

Hi child of the universe

Hi my fellow

Child of the sky and earth 

If you love me

You’ll let me make my choice

If you fear me

I’ll go alone

It’s about pain 

It’s about suffering

All brushed aside 

It’s about children 

Who aren’t at school

But rather silicone mines 

If it was our kids

We would be outraged 

So how come why 

Why is this happening 

Not as a metaphor 

But in real life? 

Hi stranger

Hi child of the universe

Hi my fellow

Child of the sky and earth

If you love me

You’ll let me make my choice

If you fear me

I’ll go alone

It’s about pain 

It’s about guilt 

That we deserve 

It’s about learning 

To acknowledge 

our faults 

I’m not a hero 

I am really

Not one at alll 

It’s about pain

It’s about guilt 

That we deserve 

Hi stranger 

Hi child of the universe 

Hi my fellow 

Child of the sky and earth 

If you love me 

You’ll let me make my choice

If you fear me 

I’ll go alone

It’s not about avoiding getting drowned 

Don’t give me glamour 

Or new clothes 

Or alcohol 

Just let my privilege burn me to the ground

Just give me hunger 

In the winter

Or nothing at all

They are not strangers

They’re young children of the universe 

They are our fellow 

Children of the sky and earth 

But you won’t acknowledge it 

Miss champagne socialist

And they’re sweating blood in the shops

While we’re getting high
