Prisoner in my Home

 

I feel like a prisoner in my own home

How did I let things go so wrong?

Noone could have prepared me for this

Nor would I have accepted this

But somehow the love got lost

I accepted the death of this girl boss

I took off my crown

I let the desire for love boss me around

I failed at being an empowering woman

The woman staring back at me is not who I want to be

I can see the plea in her eyes to make her happy

But how do I do that?

How do I bounce back?

There is a dark cloud that doesn’t leave me alone

A thunderstorm is always brewing in my home

I watch the tears fall down my face

As they fall upon my lips for me to taste

I taste the bitterness that I’ve held onto for too long

It’s time for me to right my wrongs

 

Today I take a stand to no longer be pushed aroun

Today is the day that I reclaim my crown

For today is the day that I stare back at myself

And for once I recognize my own wealth

I reclaim my name

I will rise to fame

I will be the best that I can be

I will be happy

Hard to say Goodbye

I just want the stress to go away

I just want to see the better days

But what if I'm stuck looking dumb

Because those better days never come

What if misery is all that I see?

What if my dreams have betrayed me?

I just want to be happy with you

I want to see you happy too

But it seems that our time has ended

We've been real life unfriended

You slowly pushed me away

I tried to keep my heart from going astray

But the hurt that you caused me

Helped tremendously in setting you free

I loved you beyond words

I often said I love you even when my voice was unheard

But you had other plans

You obviously didn't want to remain my man

That hurt me more than I can express

It was like someone ripped my heart out of my chest

Just then the Lord told me to keep my head up

Then I remembered that he would always be there when the going got tough

So, I have to set you free

I have to focus on me
