One decade born into this world When you become a part of me Through my ears and into my soul The thundering rhythm of a life now free Venting out my frustrations You're the one, my therapy Not giving up even when the blood flows Tearing my skin while the passion grows Splinters of dedication lay at my feet Hours of execution I must repeat Learning from those who inspire me The masters of their craft Watching and learning through persistence My insecurities cut in half You gave me strength. You gave me focus You'll always be a part of me Not giving up even when the blood flows Tearing my skin while the passion grows Splinters of dedication lay at my feet Hours of execution I must repeat When others abandoned You were always there Faithful and unmoving This life we share Never judging or crossing Always waiting for me You've given me inner peace I will always believe Building the courage to sit with you In front of strangers' watching eyes Becoming one with you as I grow My second nature until I die Surrounding me you stand proudly Taking over my body Not giving up even when the blood flows Tearing my skin while the passion grows Splinters of dedication lay at my feet Hours of execution I must repeat Not giving up even when the blood flows Tearing my skin while the passion grows Splinters of dedication lay at my feet Hours of execution I must repeat
