Weather beaten I stand tall
Whiplashed and in pain I withstand the rain
I don’t care what you think of me
My dream has always been to be free
I don’t care what people say
I just sit around waiting for those better days
You can’t know what is in my heart
When you try to tear me apart
Nothing can be worse that this
I just search for love and bliss
You can see my battle scars
But you treat me like I’m from Mars
But you know one thing is clear to me
You can never ever be me
No you don’t have the strength to fight the storm
And batten down the hatches against the vicious swarm
Of hate and lies and words of contempt
You could fight it, but you won’t even attempt
That is why I know I have strength
That’s why your words don’t touch me
Because my heart is free from me
I’ve left it outside in the cold rain
It’s there to protect me from the pain
No more do I give a damn
This is who and what I am
