Worth It.

I've seen more than you can even relate to and come to find
That fighting for morality for morality's sake will get us nowhere.
I don't wanna show my face here anymore.
In these streets, to be the topic of awkward, hometown conversation.

This is who I am and who I'l be.
I've fought for it harder than most.
I won't be told what's supposed to be right,
I'll find it out for myself, through discovery and struggle.

It takes getting everything you've ever dreamed of and loosing it
To truly know what Freedom is.
There's no use in talking with people that have never left home,
They don't understand what it's like to seek safety in other people.

To have everyone love you and care about you, but to never quite belong to anyone.
Having a chameleon soul, I'd spent years trying to adapt to what came.
Always trying to stay out of trouble, but never getting to feel what life is.
I will have it this way no longer, no longer will I have a war in my mind.

I have nothing to loose anymore and nothing to gain.
Except the desire to make my life into a canvas, a work of art.
I believe in the kindness of strangers, and the beauty of the broken
Finding solace even in the darkest of places.

Will this make you run away or will you stay, even though it hurts?
I've spent most of my life turning my cheek for cheeks sake
But now, this is my life, and I've fought for the Truth harder than most
I've broken through webs of lies, this is what I've come to.

And it was worth it.
