Oh, hello

I don’t think we’ve met

Hand outstretched, steel in my grip

“I am Unafraid.”

Yes, indeed that is my name

Faced those demons, was once a slave

Now I’ve mastered Fear, my dear

So you will call me

Unafraid

Empowerment fills my chest

I stand with hands on She-ra hips

I will meet your gaze directly

Words ready at my lips

I’ll say what must be said

I’ll fight until the death

For the Truth that is alive in me

is worth my final breath

Why, what New Dark Thing is this?

Some new lesson, some old trick?

Go ahead and try me, friend —

I got a giant fucking dick

When you’ve been to hell and back again

When hell’s been in your bed

The slave becomes the master

When she takes the master’s head

And I’ve got his on a stick

There’s a new rule in town now

This Queen don’t take your shit

I’ve battled All The Vilest Things

And learned to never quit

The throne is mine til dying day

So let me introduce you, hey?

‘Cause I don’t think we’ve met

I am

Unafraid.
