Micaela Bernal - Killing the Kid

Bruised fists pounding the walls
My face is scarred
My hair is charred
Tired of the tending to
I’m stuck in the very cocoon I tried to burn down
It’s not worth it trying to pretend
I’m so sick of holding this knife
Sick of how I
Used rage to
Used love to
What am I trying to prove to myself
When I’m looking for her in everyone else
Oh I’m tired of killing
Killing the kid in me
I pushed hopes down
Made ‘em taste the ground
Played it off as survival
I played along when nine years is too wrong
Watched the mirror but I never saw anything
That was the beginning
When I lost it
Thought I found it
But now
I’m so sick of holding this knife
Sick of how I
Used rage to
Used love to
What am I trying to prove to myself
When I’m looking for her in everyone else
Oh I’m tired of killing
Killing the kid in me
I’m no longer the hero
But I refuse to be the villain
Who rose from the ground
I couldn’t bury me
Couldn’t silence my screams
Now I am rising
Won’t go quietly
The kid is gone
But I’m not done fighting
I’m not a hero
But this won’t be a tragedy
Cause I’m sick of holding this knife
Sick of how I
Used rage to
Used love to
What am I trying to prove to myself
When I’m looking for her in everyone else
Oh I’m tired of killing
Killing the kid in me
