I came with clenched fists
For the war
I came with clenched fists
Wanting more
I came with clenched fists
At the door
I came with clenched fists
To be sure

I learned to name the enemy
Before I learned to breathe
I sharpened every word I spoke
So I wouldn’t feel weak

I thought the world was built on lines
You’re in or you’re out
I called my anger clarity
I called my fear a shout

I came with clenched fists
For the war
I came with clenched fists
Wanting more
I came with clenched fists
At the door
I came with clenched fists
To be sure

I didn’t notice
How tight my hands had grown

You didn’t match my urgency
You didn’t raise Your voice
You stayed inside the quiet space
And left me with a choice

I came with clenched fists
For the war
You stood with open hands
At the door
I came with clenched fists
Wanting more
You stayed in silence
Nothing more

Not every wrong
Needs a fight
Not every truth
Needs the night

I came with clenched fists
For the war
You opened my hands
At the core
I came with clenched fists
Wanting more
Now my hands are open
Nothing more

The fire is gone
I’m still here
My hands are open
The way is clear
