I’ve held my heart for ransom
for a price you could not pay to me
as I rose to fly my fears
held me down like gravity
I felt my best intentions
crushed beneath my feet
like a crown I’ve worn my scars
for everyone to see
when I tried to say I love you
a thousand times a day
my weakness and pride were two separate wings
on the same bird of prey
from My Father’s Son by Billy Cerveny
