Go Ahead

By Slicks78

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You strip me of anything I held true You scream because I defy what you set as creed But I always did read between the lines too well You should know that, you taught me how But I won't bow down to the religion of yourself I won't worship you, because you have power over me Go ahead and take my life away It's a small price to pay To know I am not your puppet Go ahead and tell them your lies They will know it's all false When they look into my eyes Go ahead and dig a grave Big enough for both of us I won't be your slave You can cry a river to drown me in You cannot break me, my walls will not wear thin I'm sorry to say, I wanted to be just like you Once in a day, so far away You abused me, now you use me Still tell me I've got dues to pay Go ahead and take your payment In the blood of my heart Go ahead and farther distance us We're already this far apart I will not worship you as the great one What was said, is said, what was done is done So go ahead and hurt me more You can fight the battle, I will win the warA minor rambling... But sometimes the strongest truth is told through unformed thoughts. Written February 21st, 2002 © on Feb 21 2002 03:00 PM PST, Sharon   18 • 0 • 1
