The Same

by: me, MatchboxZen

Gambit POV

Catch your breath,

Hit the wall,

Scream out loud,

As you start to crawl,

Back in your cage,

The only place,

Where they will,

Leave you alone,

I was sittin' out dere on da rooftop, jus' thinkin' bout da last time I talked with mon coeur. I remember de one and only talk we had about her past. She told me about how she was always beaten by her pere.

'Cause the weak will

Seek the weaker until they've broken them,

Could you get it back again?

Would it be the same?

Maybe it was cuz he was unfair. Or maybe he really believe he was cleansing her, or maybe, just maybe, it was cuz of her Maman dyin dat got him stressed out or something.

Fulfillment to their lack of strength

At your expense,

Left you with no defense,

They tore it down.

But whatever it wuz, made him do it more and more and even though he didn't physically, but did mentally scar my Southern Belle.

And I have felt the same, as you I've felt the same,

As you I've felt the same

I know what she feels. O' course I do. I got my empathy. Dat whole night I felt fear, anger and relief comin outta her.

Locked inside,

The only place,

Where you feel sheltered,

Where you feel safe,

I know it wuz hard ta even get her ta talk about it, and I felt honored ta be de one she went to ta talk about it. She isolated herself from everything and everyone durin those years and den some.

You lost yourself,

In your search to find,

Something else to hide behind,

The fearful always preyed upon your confidence,

Did they see the consequence?

They pushed you around?

But in de time she had secluded herself, she realized dat it wuzn't her fault and dat it wuzn't right of her father ta do all dese horrible t'ings ta her. So she ran away.

The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones,

Breaking them 'til they've become,

Just another crown,

And I have felt the same, as you I've felt the same,

As you I've felt the same, as you I've felt the same.

When she was on de streets, no one would help her. Not a single, solitary soul. Deep down, dey were all jus' like her father. Kinda like me, only I wuz a lucky one.

Refuse to feel,

Anything at all,

Refuse to slip,

Refuse to Fall,

I know now dat she will never stop fearin her father. He was such a big part of her life and at such a young age too. No one can change dat, but it's what makes her who she is today. Never fearin anything else, and stubborn.

Can't be weak,

Can't stand still,

You watch your back,

'Cause no one will,

Unaided, lonely, strong, and self-reliant. Some of the many things dat I love about her. Dey represent de no surrendering, go all de way' feeling reminds me of myself.

You don't know why they had to go

This far, traded your worth for these scars,

For you is only Company,

Even though I hate de man dat is her father, I appreciate de fact dat at one time he did love her. Why or when it went, no one, probably not even he will ever know, but is reassuring dat he wasn't always a bad man.

Don't believe the lies that they have told to you,

Not one word was true,

You're alright you're alright

You're all right

And I have felt the same, as you I've felt the same,

As you I've felt the same, as you I've felt the same.

Dere's nothing wrong wit' mon cherie. She just a bit different from everyone else. And tonight, I'm gonna let her know bout how alike we are

A/N: I know, I know, it's sucky. I planned it out better, but it ended up getting worse and worse. Please excuse my French. I take Spanish, so don't blame me, blame my Dad! Plus, I've been working harder on my other one, so don't bother me! Hehe
