It's getting late but I cannot sleep
as I force my mind to revisit
all those years I survived alone -
learning now, that I didn't recover at all,
I only learned, and succeeded,
to block it all out
and avoid the vicious memories.
I was caged by you for such a long time,
after you filled my mind with fear,
and made me believe every threat you installed.
And through the years I kept believing you,
as life kept moving along,
and no one every noticed
I was trapped inside your prison cell.
It's getting late but I refuse to sleep,
because I finally found the strength
to face all the childhood memories,
and I now have the power to open the cage
and find out who I am,
not what you wanted me to be!
