Incoming Fire

I honestly don't feel very inspired
When all sides are incoming fire
Waiting for my transformation to transpire
But never comes, your weaponized words, a killer for hire

I'm waiting for the rain to fall down
To erase your lies, steal my crown
Back from you - I want you to drown
In the shame you pushed me - so far down

I'm ready to let go of your hate
A new world of my own to create
A new dream of my own to fixate
Without your anger and need to dictate

I honestly wish I could be the one to inspire
But I let myself be drowned by a liar
'Til I learned how to build an underwater empire
Now I can never again be sacrificed to your pyre
