You realize you fall hard because you haven't learned how to land softly.
You go to pick yourself up but you don't know to use the hands that hurt.
You nod your head because you haven't noticed that shaking it gets you higher respect.

You never threw a fist because your wrist have no strength. But you never used the strength you have in your arms.
You can only run so far but you forget how well you can hide.
You've never fought and won because you've never had to fight for your life.
You'd be blown away at the pain your body can bear.

You've always felt like you needed to raise your voice to grab a hold of someone's attention but look at all their faces when you bring it deep.
You've wanted them to glance your way but the moment you chose to avoid all the eyes they hold their attention longer.

Fearing the shadow is a waste of resources.
When you can benefit from all its tools it has to hand you.
The sun can still make you shiver but the night can give you some...
