Set Me Free

(Dedicating to all the unfortunate, sexually assaulted girls & to womanhood)

I made my choice a few years ago
I wanted to grow up a beautiful princess
I'm getting there, I'm sure of that
Some don't want me to, I guess
..
I want to walk down the streets
With no fear, with my head held high
I don't want to be stopped abruptly
I don't intend to scream out a cry
..

Set me free, set me free

Let me be, let me be
I'm also a life, I hope you see
Let me live and breathe free
..
I know you don't have a heart
If you did, you wouldn't throw me and run
I'm not a game where you win or lose
Your heart would've told you so, if you had one
..
Your eyes are enough to haunt me
Let alone your merciless, forceful fist
Even calling out for God goes in vain
When survival disappears in the dark mist
..
"For the people", they weren't meant to be
Consider me a fool if I believe they care
Even if I die a lonesome painful death tomorrow
There is no loss they will have to bear
..
Set me free, set me free
Let me be, let me be
I'm also a life, I hope you see
Let me live and breathe free..
