First breathCold air, gleaming lightsI do not understand this worldI do not know sometimes it is coldSometimes I must fight aloneParents and family protect meI am different but cannot understand whyThings happen bad and goodA brother comesI want to protect him with all my strengthCare for him with all my loveWe bicker and fightBut still I protect himI cannot understand people, emotions, friendsAll lost inside my mindAloneAround people but always aloneWithout a friendFamily do not know what it is likeTo be aloneI understand I am differentBlessing or curseI do not knowBut I fight for it to be a blessingI writeWords flowI get lost among stories, tales, and booksI do not know what lies aheadBut I charge through life
