Free

Question:
Just how do you want me to bleed?
On the floor?
In your arms?
How much do you need?

Question:
How long should I stay in my place-
Where you've
Held me captive
For your sick disgrace?

Question:
Do you hold me down out of guilt?
The cuts
And the scars
On this frame that you've built-
Aren't enough for you?

Must you pour blood from my veins
To feel
yourself smile?
To hide selfish disdain?
Give me an answer!

Do you want me to die
So that
You can feel
Like you've tried to survive?
Well you haven't!

You've blamed me for all your mistakes!
But I'll still
Live my life
Through the beatings I take-

'Cause it's worth it to me
To break from
Your grasp!
You're shackles can't hold me
Because I'm free at last!
