You twist all my words and give them different meanings
There are nights when I am alone and my heart is quietly  screaming.
The pain of my past is taking its toll
Casting me in a new and different role.
I once was young,  wild and  free.
Now I'm afraid to step outside my door because you see,
you played with my heart and twisted my words
Until the real me was no longer heard.

Now I sit in the dark silently screaming and praying for death
Counting down the moments until my last breath.
For if I cannot be me then who am I?
A soul left wandering, waiting to fly.

What is the point in speaking, what words can I say
that you wont twist and use for your play?
I'm done being your toy
I'm done sitting on a shelf
I'm jumping down, I'm being myself.
I don't care what you say, you can't hurt me anymore.
