Than fought for in loud ones

Bravery is called chivalrous

But it isn’t called kind or loving

Your bravado and blustering is a look

And I want more than fashion

I want to know you hear me everyday

I want a partner who let’s me choose

Maybe the battles are bad look

Maybe I don’t wish any violence

And that includes defending my honor

An honor that I don’t let them define

So if they want to shit on my name

Let them be monkeys throwing shit

While I get to be more evolved

Can we both decide to run away

And hold hands while we’re hiding

Let me defy violence in your embrace

Hold me close as I choose peace.
