Children Of The Light

That voice in my head
Says
You won't make it
Keeps a score of every scar
Like it's all that I am

Alarm on the floor
Eyes stuck to the ceiling
Scrolling through everyone's wins
Till I don't feel like a person
Just a glitch
Just a ghost
Just a name on a list
That never gets chosen

I am not a loser
I am not that lie
I'm bruised
But I'm a fighter
I was born from light
When the dark starts screaming
Telling me I'm nothing inside
I tear that tongue to pieces
I am a child of the light

Coffee gone cold
Hands start their shaking
Every small stumble feels
Like the ground keeps breaking
But there's fire in my chest
Under all this doubt
Hear it pound
Hear it pound
Trying to break out

I've called myself failure
Till the word lost meaning
Tried to hide my heartbeat
Under heavy breathing

But look at these hands
Still rise when I fall
If I was truly nothing
How am I standing at all?

So when that voice says
Worthless
I answer back
Liar
You can bury me in ashes
I'll still walk out of the fire
