Would it be enough for you?
To call it a dream come true?

For a partner to "protect" you from harm?

His will not your own
Would keep you at home..

Much of the control accepted as "charm" ..

Would it be enough for you?
His needs become the glue?

Which keeps all things snug in their place..

Your primary role
To bandage a soul..

Who does not accept you have your own face..

Would it be enough for you?
To live life for his truth?

Repression robbing the very air that you breathe?

Could you "make it work"?
As your kids watch your worth..

Circle the drain causing Dignity finally to leave?

Would it be enough for you?!
As your identity they confuse..

For some object that lives to serve and comply?

Tell me..what's it worth to you?
Your true self to shine through..

On which Mountain would you be willing to die?
