No More

This time
Not going
to back down

in the past
I’ve been happy
with second place
to survive in
the shadows

I’ve hidden
from the world
afraid to
chance it
live it
love it
afraid of life
no more

But
I’m tired
and ready to fight back
to strike back

no more darkness
no more fear
time to take back
what is mine

I’ve hidden
from the world
afraid to
chance it
live it
love it
afraid of life
no more

No more
surviving
time to live
no more
second guessing

Can’t be a king
If you’re afraid
to come back
the fool

And I’ve decided
that this is not
how life is meant
to be

I’ll fight now
for what is mine

I’ve hidden
from the world
afraid to
chance it
live it
love it
afraid of life
no more
