Power
No! I will not bow to your iron fist.
Crack my bones,
Make my scars deeper,
Through me onto the solid ground,
and walk all over me...but I will not bow down!
My line of sight will never see your hideous feet,
My neck will never be open to the sunlight above,
and I would rather my spine break
than have to bend over like a dog for you.
Take away my love, my hope, my faith...
but you will never take away my honor.
You think you have power,
well then I feel sorry for you.
You fool yourself into thinking you are a god,
but you are nothing but a pebble in someone else's shoe.
So lock me away, torture me, kill me...
I no longer care because no matter what you do
the only time my body will be on the ground for you
is when I am drowning in my own blood.
