Reality

Endings are not always happy
Tears do not always dry
Sometimes the angry wounds don’t heal
And there is no reason why

See my scars, you twisted world
See what you have made me
Lonely, frightened, helpless and cold
And always, always angry

I am not a psycho
Just a woman all alone
With the lies that you have told me
Carved into my skin and bone

Do you know what it means to crave pain
When I’m not sure if I’m alive
For a moment, I need to be real
So I bleed and I scream and I cry

And you have the gall to ask me
Why I behave this way
I did not choose this cursed life
All I want is to escape

Set me free or watch me die
But a slave I cannot be
I must fly, or I will burn
A phoenix can only live free

I do not belong to you
For you cannot take away
My will to live, or to let go
That is my choice to make
