Reborn from hate

All because you wanted fun

To pick on me

What's done is done

You can't take back the scars you've left

Reminders of wounds unphysical

But now I've grown

Your hate makes me strong

No longer the prey

I am the feared

Once more persecuted

But now I've control

I will not back down

Will not give up

This fight's not over

No where near

You will not beat me

I will not fall

A dark mind

No-one understands

A black heart

That does not feel but anger

Sadness, my dirty secret

Winds of hope do not blow my way

The future seems bleak

But one-day I know

I will stand tall

And show them all they were wrong

Show them that you can be different

That you can be great

Stand strong in the face of your enemies

Like the dying phoenix

I crumbled

But I have been reborn from the ashes of my past

Reborn from the ashes of hate
