Percy's POV
It was time for English class now with Mr Blofis, Paul my stepdad.
I only just got to class in time.
"Today, I'll put on a song and you'll all think about how you relate to it." Paul explained.
He pulled out his phone and put on the song.
It was called 'Warrior' by Demi Lovato.
'This is a story I have never told
I gotta get this off my chest to let it go'
I was thinking about my story I never told, one of my childhood.
'I need to take back the light inside you stole
You're a criminal, You steal like your a pro'
I need to and wish I could take back the light that Gabe stole.
The true carefreeness and happiness of childhood.
'All the pain and all the truth
I wear like a battle robe'
I do kinda, but I act carefree, so no one can see that battle robe.
'So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised'
I was ashamed and confused, about what I did to deserve it.
I was broken and bruised, physically and mentally.
Mentally because I was always put down, and physically because I was abused and raped.
'Now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been'
That's true, I'm a warrior now and I don't get hurt as easily.
'And my armour, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again'
My armour is sorta steel, but my steel armour is my happy, carefree attitude, and Gabe can't hurt me again because he's stone now.
'Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire
You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar'
That's true, even if he could apologise, which he wouldn't, it would be a lie.
'I've got shame, I've got scars
That I will never show'
Correct, I have shame for being weak and I defiantly have scars.
'I'm a survivor
In more ways than you know'
Correct again.
'Cause all the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I'm not broken or bruised
'Cause now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me
There's a part of me I can't get back
A little kid grew up too fast'
True, I did grow up to fast and I can't get my childhood back.
'All it took was once, I'll never be the same'
Correct.
'Now I'm taking back my life today
Nothing left that you can say
Cause you are never gonna take the blame anyway'
I have already taken back my life, but there is nothing you can say and it's right Gabe would never in a million years take any blame.
'Now I'm a warrior
I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again'
Never, ever.
'No oh, yeah, yeah
'You can never hurt me again
That song is basically my life.
The home bell rung and I went home and cried.
