Why Am I Hiding?

Why have I not fought? Why do I just keep giving up?
Just writing it off as though it'll never work out. My bad luck.

I'm tired if sitting idly by. Tired of this passive approach.
Tonight I am done hiding. I'm through with being alone.

I'll fight for whatever comes my way. Time to take a stand.
I WILL NOT sit in the darkness. I'm taking my light back.

I don't care how hard I fight or how many times I fail.
I'm done with not even trying in the simplest of ways.

I'm taking my heart back. My strength is a virtue.
It's something I've held dear. And I know my strength is true.

I'm not gonna hide anymore. It's just not me.
I'm throwing away the chains. Time to fight to be free.

Free from mental burdens. From my imagination.
This phoenix rises in flame. And casts away all damnation.
