Hostage

That gun isn't so intimidating,
Is this normal in the world I live in?
This false courage I am creating,
Can never hide the fear within.

Staring down your barrel,
Will not change my mind,
I'll endure your every peril,
This time I won't leave it behind.

Keep me hostage as long as you must,
We all need to fight the fight,
It takes time to create the trust,
That will make everything alright.

I need to crack the lock,
That holds the chains around me,
You don't have many tricks in stock,
But I have no where to flee.

I'll bite the bullet,
If that is what it will take,
The strength to pull it through,
Will be enough to break you.

Keep me hostage as long as you must,
We all need to fight the fight,
It takes time to create the trust,
That will make everything alright.

You will no longer hold back,
The once weak boy you knew before,
Upon your surface I'll break through the crack,
And walk right out that door.

You won't stop me now,
I'll keep heading in her direction,
I will not bow,
Until we share faces in reflection.
