I was left crying at your door, three years old,

You came back smiling when you needed gold.

You called me your blood, but I saw your game,

Love was a word, but it never came

You fed me lies with a sugar grin,

Taught me shame like it lived in my skin.

Held my hand just to pull me down,

Said I’d be nothing—who’s laughing now?

I bit my tongue, I clenched my fists,

Took the hits, but I don’t flinch.

You built the walls, you locked the door,

But I won’t bow, not anymore.

I wore the scars, I bear the pain,

Played the fool inside your game.

But every slap, and every scream,

Fed the fire inside of me.

You barked commands, so I walked away,

Told me "sit," so I disobeyed.

Every rule was just a dare,

Every bruise was proof I was still there.

You cursed my name, you cursed my soul,

Called me worthless, said I was cold.

But I stood tall, I wouldn’t break,

You hit harder—I wouldn’t shake.

I bit my tongue, I clenched my fists,

Took the hits, but I don’t flinch.

You built the walls, you locked the door,

But I won’t bow, not anymore.

I wore the scars, I bear the pain,

Played the fool inside your game.

But every slap, and every scream,

Fueled the fire inside of me.

You looked in my eyes and saw no fear,

Knew right then you lost me here.

I was a child, but not your pawn,

You built the cage, but I was gone.

I bit my tongue, I clenched my fists,

Took the hits, but I don’t flinch.

You built the walls, you locked the door,

But I won’t bow, not anymore.

I wore the scars, I bear the pain,

Played the fool inside your game.

But I walked out, my head held high,

Escaped your clutch and left you behind.

No tears left, no war to fight,

Your voice is nothing but noise at night.

I don’t forgive, I don’t forget,

But I walk free, and that’s my revenge.
