Bitter Blood

A feeling so complex,
 almost impossible to define,
 The constant change of heart and the war inside my mind.
 A childhood lost, no identity. We left it all behind
 We paid the price for a better life
 through the toil and the strife.
 The same poison that ran in his veins runs in mine.
 To overcome a broken past I must draw the line
 and I rise above this bitter blood.
 The lack of trust to the world around us,
 the constant fear of never fitting in.
 Made me feel like I was born to lose.
 Now I will live to win.
 Hours spent learning to cover up the shame.
 All these fingers pointing, trying to pin the blame.
 I rise above this bitter blood,
 the alienation and hostility I've known.
 I stand trial through the fire and the mud.
 I rise above this bitter blood.
 Tonight this bitter blood dies in me...
