What you have taken from me I could scream out in profanity,

was every bit of my sanity.

What you have taken from me is my dignity,

left me empty and without clarity.

What you have taken from me I could not say,

the scars on my wrist could tell stories for days.

What you have taken from me is any hope of finding love,

left me broken in pieces like shattered glass you just shoved.

What you have taken from me was down under oppression,

no wonder why I have no sense of direction.

What you have taken from me you can keep,

I can build a new me without you just wait and see.
