I never knew freedom
Quite like this
I only knew cages, bars and traps
I only knew wishing wishing that I'd have escape
Counting down days hours
I only knew I wanted more more more
Than her words tearing me inside out and down down down in despair and desperation to claw out
I only knew I deserved better
I curled in my window frame, legs swinging, watching the ants go by and that was my life, locked with bars and chains and traps
Sad, sad little girl
Broke free, ran so fast I was free in an instant&
I never knew freedom quite like this.
I don't even remember who that little girl is but I'll never forget.
