Did you know??
They tell me I'm hardened
I tell them they're right
They don't know what I've been through
They've not lived my life
The things I've survived
Would've killed most
They'll haunt me long after
I'm simply a ghost
Did you know you can taste blood
If there's enough in the air?
And death leaves a scent
When the body's not there?
Brain matter is sticky
It clings to the walls
You can still hear bones breaking
When you've no hearing at all
The dark can hide monsters
But so can the light
And some nightmares live on
Long after the night
They tell me I'm hardened
Like my shell should be shamed
When I've seen the worst
Of humanity's games
And still I survived them
When others did not
My shell is my armor
Sometimes all I've got
I might be jaded
And harder than steel
Just know I've survived
More than you'll ever feel.
