You constantly cry that you're being abused
Scared to go home because of the verbal and
physical punches
Mentally and physically drained you ask for help
Plans are made for your escape from pain and
entrance to a new freedom
Everything and everyone is in place to help
you survive
Waiting and waiting you never show
Finally you call saying you're staying
Disbelief surrounds your would be freedom
fighters
Shaking their heads they disperse
Battered and bruised you again ask
for help
Incredulous stares are aimed at you
They answer no because they can't help you
until you're willing to help yourself be free
Shit just got real
Looking around you see your own striving
to succeed
Jokes and disparaging comments spew
from your mouth
Everyday you block the path to greener
pastures
And everyday they find a way around your
blockade
You and your crew thinking intimidation
will keep them down
Yet they and their dreams use your weapons
to spur them on
They're supposed to succumb to your taunts
and aggressions and you wonder why you fail
The question is asked
Why do you keep trying
The answer is given
We honor our destiny and not your fears
Shit just got real
