Anatomy Of A Victim

There are secrets kept behind my eyes
Ones you will never know
Secrets of pain and hurt
Things I'll never show

There are words held in my lips
A story I'm scared to say
Words that tell of a little girl
And a grown man who lost his way

There are thoughts inside my head
They keep me feeling down
Thoughts reminding me of why I'm dirt
And leaving me with a frown

There is a weight kept on my heart
A burden you could never hold
Weight from memories of long ago
That cant be bought or sold

There is strength inside my skin
Ready to fend off an attack
Strength placed there by God himself
So I can always fight back

There is speed inside my legs
Ready to run if needed
Speed placed there by memory
Of times my strength has fleeted

Theres wisdom held inside my soul
Reminding me of lessons from the past
Wisdom to stay strong and proud
Even when feeling like an outcast
