I Choose Me!

You sent the shivers in again
Running seems far from safe

Look how the morning found me
Cringing out my worth in fear

I've lived my life in shadows
Of what was or could be

Was told I'm strong and dauntless
But never could I see

I think my faith begets me
But I ain't asking how

For as I heard the options
I whispered "I choose me!"

I choose to fist the walls down
And let my eyes sweat tears

But let the dust stay rising
I pose in my estate

Oh is that what fear looks like?
Your face is tinted blue

I'm not so vengeful darling
But you offended me

I see a thousand questions
In every blink and twitch

Just let me poke your guts some
Then flee a thousand ways

Hand moving to your sheath now
So what's it going to be?

Either the battle line is drawn
Or I already won

How have I never seen a crown?
Feels like I own a throne

Think you've ever been stronger?
Make you my protégé

Oh now you want some reasoning?
Back's turned speak to my spine

My faith will someday save your soul
My power says you've drowned
