Let Me Be Free

I want to be free

Free from those closed doors

That don't let me see the world outside.

I want to be free

From those claws that

Cut open the wound to

Sadly make me cry.

I want to be free

From the words that sweetly

Expressed to hold me down.

I want to be free

From those who wouldn't

Let me wear the crown.

I want to be free

Free from those bonds

That mean nothing at all

I want to be free

From those who tell me

I am not worth it all.

I want to be free

From those flowers

That prick me when I do hold them tight

I want to be free

Live with dignity

So that you don't say

She never tried.
