you can hold my head under the water
you can tell me i don't belong
you can throw snakes and stones at me
you can tell me everything i do is wrong
but the longer your hand
glued to my head
stays underwater, the
more slippery it becomes and the
more air i can force
into my lungs.
the water will part
and surround me
at once.
it is part of me
and you will never hold
the title that i hold
that allows me to
b r e a t h e
while you gasp at your sore arms.
you can hold my head under the water.
i will always belong
the snakes have no more venom; stones can't dent my armor
every bad thing you say about me is wrong
you can tell me i don't belong
you can throw snakes and stones at me
you can tell me everything i do is wrong
but the longer your hand
glued to my head
stays underwater, the
more slippery it becomes and the
more air i can force
into my lungs.
the water will part
and surround me
at once.
it is part of me
and you will never hold

the snakes have no more venom; stones can't dent my armor
every bad thing you say about me is wrong
