There’s only two ways to escape that prison
The one your abusers created inside
When you were too small to fight
The day they turned out your light
And locked all the doors bolting them tight
Hiding the keys far out of your sight

There’s only two ways to escape that place
One is to die and forever bury your face
The other is to rise up against your fears
To push through the darkness and wade through your tears
Defiantly taking up the tools that are there
To bash down those walls of pain and despair
