My Life In Word

LIBERTY

 When night falls
 The darkness calls
 Her out by name
 Reminding her of the shame
 Heaved upon her
 By a predator
  
 She closes her eyes
 And comes to realize
 That she's on a head trip
 And has taken ownership
 Of his guilt and depravity
 His turpitude and inhumanity
  
 She opens her eyes
 And with conviction decides
 To relinquish the lies
 She kept bottled inside
 For fear of the world's reproach
 But now with boldness, she optimistically approached
 The nigh shores of freedom
 No longer the victim
  
 She closes her eyes
 And without compromise
 She ends the head trip
 And surrenders ownership
 Of the guilt and shame
 Cause she wasn’t to blame
 For his lack of humanity
 Turpitude or depravity
  
 Now when night falls 
 And the darkness calls
 Her out by name
 She defiantly proclaims
 Her liberty
 From captivity
