A woman breaking free from chains, symbolizing liberation and new found freedom

I'm not what I wanted to be, damn it all,

Trapped in this life, feeling so small.

Is this really my priority? Can't you see?

Bound by these chains, am I even free?​


Stress inside me, it's fucking relentless,

Eating me alive, leaving me defenseless.

Voices in my head, they just won't let me be,

Drowning in this chaos, am I even free?​


That dickhead's words cut me to the core,

Telling me to get lost, slamming the door.

Tossed my clothes out, like I'm debris,

Humiliated and broken, am I even free?​


His bitch mother stands silent, watching it unfold,

Blaming me for everything, acting so cold.

No one speaks up, no one defends me,

In this house of judgment, am I even free?​


Pain's my shadow, follows me around,

In this fucked-up life where I'm constantly bound.

Screaming inside, but no one can see,

In this endless torment, am I even free?​


But fuck this shit, I won't be confined,

Won't let these bastards control my mind.

I'll break these chains, set myself free,

Find my own path, reclaim my destiny.
