Narcissus

You reached for me like you were saving me, I learned your rules before I learned of thee. Gave you my love, gave you my doubt, didn't notice I was running out. We all bleed somewhere no one sees, carrying wounds we can't explain. Even Narcissus hits his knees, everyone's hurt, everyone's the same. She smiles for them and counts her bruises after. He preaches love while tearing someone down. The rights they promised, buried under laughter, it is a fight never meant to make a sound. We all bleed somewhere no one sees, carrying wounds we can't explain. Even Narcissus hits his knees, we remember what they tried to erase. You thought you had me, yes: you almost did. But something inside me refused to give in. Not unbroken - no, I'm past that lie. I am here, I am mine, I am... alive. I am here, I'm not yours, I am alive Still breathing through the dark, Through the dark We don't bow. No... Not now.
