I rage I roar I pull at the restraints like a mad man who only wants blood I rage I roar They have you! Locked away to where I can’t see you They taunt me They tease me They look at me as if I have turned into a savage dog I rage I roar I scream at the top of my lungs your name, but it only falls on the deaf ears of my tormenters They are foolish They don’t check the restraints They don’t know that the chains that keep me from you, are about to break I rage I roar They hold a photo of you in front of my face They ask me with a laugh, “Do you like our handy work?” They have painted your body black and blue Your eyes…your eyes are swollen shut I fall to my knees and grow numb They roar with laughter thinking they have defeated me Their laughter shakes me to the core, where it blossoms into a magnificent fire I rage I roar I shake uncontrollably as I calmly stand with my eyes closed They have grown silent The shaking slows and stops The fire inside of me explodes into an inferno My eyes snap open and I look them in the eye I rage I roar I pounce at them like a savage dog tearing them to pieces I rage I roar I run down the hall searching every room for you It’s the last door I come to where I find you huddled in a dark corner I fall to my knees with tears of joy leaking from my eyes I hold you like a newborn baby Letting you rest your head on my shoulder You are strong You are brave We stand together hand in hand Leaving this hellish place No more raging No more roaring

I RAGE FOR YOU

I rage I roar I pull at the restraints like a mad man who only wants blood I rage I roar They have you! Locked away to where I can’t see you They taunt me They tease me They look at me as if I have turned into a savage dog I rage I roar I scream at the top of my lungs your name, but it only falls on the deaf ears of my tormenters They are foolish They don’t check the restraints They don’t know that the chains that keep me from you, are about to break I rage I roar They hold a photo of you in front of my face They ask me with a laugh, “Do you like our handy work?” They have painted your body black and blue Your eyes…your eyes are swollen shut I fall to my knees and grow numb They roar with laughter thinking they have defeated me Their laughter shakes me to the core, where it blossoms into a magnificent fire I rage I roar I shake uncontrollably as I calmly stand with my eyes closed They have grown silent The shaking slows and stops The fire inside of me explodes into an inferno My eyes snap open and I look them in the eye I rage I roar I pounce at them like a savage dog tearing them to pieces I rage I roar I run down the hall searching every room for you It’s the last door I come to where I find you huddled in a dark corner I fall to my knees with tears of joy leaking from my eyes I hold you like a newborn baby Letting you rest your head on my shoulder You are strong You are brave We stand together hand in hand Leaving this hellish place No more raging No more roaring

I must keep running One foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other I can't stop, I can not look behind me If I look behind me my blood will freeze, my heart will stop I must run harder for the light is getting smaller, the path is getting harder my body is getting colder I must ignore the pain I must ignore the cold I must keep running One foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other Why is it getting colder Why is it getting harder I must keep running One foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other I will never stop It may get colder It may get harder But I will never be defeated I will never stop My heart is still beating
