Slave No More
Dear shame,
You’ve stained my life
Marred my heart with scars
Engulfed my mind in sorrows
A trench too steep to climb
I was a walking disaster
A clay pot shattered
My heart wept
My eyes transparent
I hid my sorrows
Behind a facade
Expressionless -
I’d mastered that art
But you didn’t know
That I wasn’t alone
My Savior arrived
and carried me to the sky
Where we waltz amongst the stars
Bathed in moonlight
The darkness still resides
But I’ve no reason to hide
I’m not afraid
Of the shadows anymore
My heart was repaired
From the mess it was before
Look me in the eyes
When I’m talking to you
You no longer own my heart
To which you can imbrue
With your bitter words
For I’ve come to learn
From what I’ve been through
You can only hurt me
As much as I let you
Sincerely,
Your slave no more
