I am the loin at the gate
Standing guard
Keeping strangers out
Protecting
I am the wall around the palace
Built strong and tall
Meant to last
Observing
I am the broken empty heart
Shattered into a million pieces
To numb to feel
Enduring
I am the soldier sent to war
With a song of hope and courage
Never giving up
Fighting
I am the devastated soul crying out
Invisible to the world
Cutting away my secret pain
Screaming
I am all these things
Hidden in the Shadows
Lost to Myself
Living
