If you could know me,
I wonder what you would think?
Would I still be a fiery little brat?
Someone who has too much pride?
An unending source of bravery and energy?
And her ego is kind of big?
Now, wait!
Before you say yes, remember the question,
If you could know me, what would you think?
What?
You already know me?
Hah.
Stupid people. You don't know me at all.
See, I meant if you could really know me,
If I ever let you know me,
Then, what would you see?
If you could see me in the nights I sit away from the fire,
Alone, breathing hard, crying, and calling for help?
If you could see into my eyes in a fight,
The tears, and the fear, and the disgust at what I do?
If you could hear that tiny quaver in my voice,
When I am casting any spell,
Would you still think of me the same way?
If you could know me,
Would I still be the enemy of all that lives?
Would I still be the one even a dragon wouldn't mess with?
Would I still be the bandit killer?
Would I still be... your friend?
If you could know me, really know me,
Then would you see me as the way I see myself?
A scared little girl who'll never be good enough, or pretty enough, or strong enough?
A disgusting little child who'll only be a murderer, and never be good enough at being
even that?
If you could know me,
What would you see?
Would I like what you saw?
Would you forgive what you saw?
If you could know me,
Tell me, what would I be?
