They see me fearless
I stand up alone,
My knees still tremble
I still look for my home.
But my eyes look at them
Perfectly straight into their eyes,
Yes , I am brave
Because my fear is in disguise.
I walk with passion
My head held up in the sky,
My head speaks confidence..
My heart speaks ‘a lie’.
I chase the monsters
I bring them to death,
With each droplet of blood
I lose my breath.
The fight for right
This question for wrong ,
This search for me
The truth where I belong …
Seems to disappear
In the hazy mirror of streets,
This brave girl wakes up
every night from her sleep.
