Value

If I showed you who I am
It’s something you can believe.
The onus is laid in your hands.
All of my worth is in me,
Not in your beholding eye.

Trust that I’ll overcome you too,
Because I’ve walked this heart
Through fire and ice and swords
And on the other side walked away clean,
Pointing the birds at heaven’s door.

I’d gulp every last drop of freedom
If it meant never seeing bars again.
