Calamity

To call me back again, to force me back
Is against my will, against my soul
You long to hurt me, to bend me to your way

You surround me, smother me
If only for a moment
I gasp for air, claw for release
To be free of you, O calamity of mine

You may break me in a thousand pieces
I will not succumb to your ways, to your manipulations
I will not, no, I will not

My spirit will not remain caged
I will break forth with new found hope
As I am called into the light
Basked in it's wondrous glory that is all
I will know I am free, I am free

Choice

How am I to make a choice I am against?

How am I to do your bidding when it hurts me so?

Tell me this, how am I to erase the trauma you have burnt into my mind?

Physical pain may not last, but your trauma will never cease.

You have tied me downHow, stripped me of my dignity

Forced me to choose between my life and a life of hell at your feet.

I will not remain in these chains, I will break free however I must

My blood, my death, will be on your hands and may that be burnt into your mind.
