un-stitching trauma for my highest good

I won’t stay straight-laced, I choose to disappoint!
While dressed to the nines I will demand that I anoint
myself as my commander and break regulation’s rules
I’m walking tall and balanced while still trying to find the tools
against binary ambiguity and setting myself free,
knowing now that my own fate only relies on me
Innocence was stolen from me in my youngest years,
but nothing comes to change if I am paralyzed by fear
And in the most surprising way, this heart won’t turn to stone --
a “godless pit of hell” awaits, but I am not alone
