You took from me, that which was not yours
It left me, frightened, angry and insecure
Back then I didn’t understand
I felt used, confused and damned
Thought for sure I was to blame
For the hate, disgust and the shame
As you took a part of me
You also stole my identity
Trying desperately to hide
The grief, the pain, I hold
inside
Isolating me from me
Threatening my security
Why should I carry your disdain?
You caused this shame and pain
No, not another day
Will I let this shame and pain stay?
I will give back to you
Those ugly chains long overdue
Taking what you took from me
Now I am finally free.
