Faith

I don’t understand why you believe in me.
When I’ve never believed in anything.

I don’t think I’ll do a good deed in my life.
But somehow you make me want to try.

Maybe there’s hope that I can’t see yet.
Or maybe it’s just bullshit I bought into.

Either way it’s made me a better person.

Even if I don’t get why.






​You’re Right To Fear Me

I’m a gentle soul with a ruthless heart.
I’ve been spat on many times.

But live in the name of love in spite of it.
And create new life from ashes I leave behind.

I fight against myself to prove you wrong.
It’s why I’m not the monster you wanted.

But instead the man I chose to be.
