Anger whispers when I don't get what I want.
When I rest I let go. They still suffer.
It's hard to think or use my voice.
The scars are deep but no excuse.
So change the things that we expect.
Say: I get defensive when I know I'm wrong.
Tremble in the face of fear. In the throat of danger.
Identify the eminent. Recall the past and live again.
Find the motion and use my mind.
My heart is blind but my eyes can tell.
Now live as each new day is your last.
And say: I get defensive when I know I'm wrong.
Guilt is me who I will violate, and taught to feel.
Question that which educate. Pay back if I repeat the ways.
Find the strength and test my soul.
The ways are mine to embrace or abandon.
A man is only what a man will hold.
Say: I get defensive when I know I'm wrong.
