i dont give you power
in fact i am stealing it from you in this moment
taking back what is rightfully mine
taking back my body
my tears
taking myself out of the slaughter house
because you dont deserve that satisfaction
i wont give you those pieces of me
because ive learned
how to stand on my own
and i will never let your hand push me back down
