I have never been whole before
Tell me about it please
I hunger like a demon
And shiver in the breeze
It growls and scratches at the door
The hound left home alone
It gnaws and shreds my sinews
This shell, that isn't home
Imagine every time you look
The mirrors all are cracked
Then people look at you oddly
When it's finally intact
Imagine you've always been a bird
With plucked-barren wings
And when they finally let you fly
They pull you back with strings
Hate can choke the hope from your lips
Hate can make tomorrows seem impossible
Hate can take your last breath
And hate can crumble a home to the earth
If hate be my ending, then let them know
They did not hate me enough
For this euphoria to die
They could not kill the love and joy that lies inside
I'm not hiding anymore
And my plumage has grown
You can find me laughing in the fields
Reaping what I've sown
