breaking free--surviving abuse

Yesterday you saw
That everything will fall.
But now you know
I came for the show,
And what you do
Only matters to you.
I say you are worthless,
Less than a man.
You think you can hurt me....
Continue believing that you can...

"Break out," is what they said to me.
I told them no, I will break free.

Break free from
The ties that bind,
Break free from
The entire lie.

Break free from
The heartache,
Break free from
Emotions that make me shake.

Making me shake
In anger and despair.
One day soon
I shall have not a care.

Feelings that run
Through my head
Thoughts and emotions--
I'd rather be dead.

Rather be dead
Than feel the pain
I look ahead
And see nothing to gain.

Nothing to gain
From carrying this hurt.
Hit by a run-away train,
Shall I cut my life short?

Cut into pieces
Will it make me whole?
Will the pain help to ease
My weary soul?

Breaking out is not my wish
For it will never be granted.
I just wish to break free
And pretend it never happened.
