It took me all of me
All of my ambitions, all my apprehensions
All those impish smiles of mine
And those embellished sobs
All of those to attain
That which was as such ubiquitous
All around me, still far apart
It took me all of me
Until it occurred a blazing dawn
I am the solace amidst my own chaos
I am my own hope
within my fierce desperation to quit
I am the serene sunlight to
my pitch darkness within
I rise to shine, breathe to purify
I am the curves of my smile
I am the respite to my plight
I am you when I make me smile
I am us when I inspire
I am me, fierce and fragile
