I Am A Queen
You would call me everyday to see if I was okay because you knew the pain wasn't going away.
That was my home but I felt so alone, I just wanted to go, to runaway to a place that only I would know.
I'm sick of being hit, i don't want to tell these lies anymore
He would slap me, tell me I'm not worthy, kick me out and say goodbye
he told me not to come back if I dared to cry
So I hid my pain and my hurt because I had no worth
At least that's what he taught me
So many days I didn't want to be here
I didn't want to roam the earth, I wanted to be underground with no heart to hurt
I wanted my breath to be sucked out of me
i felt like I had no soul. It hurt to breath. I wanted to scream endlessly
He took a part of me, i was a slave to his needs but no one cared about me.
I was damaged because I knew it was no dream
But then you came, you changed my life
You fixed my wounds and iced my brusies
The only time you touched me was to lift my chin to kiss my forehead
You never hit me, you said that wasn't the right way to be
You wanted me to be free
You helped me to smile agin, something I hadn't done in so long
You respected me, you never did me any wrong
You told me that I was human, that I didn't deserve to be hit
I'm a queen because I'm me
I don't have to be what anyone else wants me to be
I kicked him to the curb and finally felt free
You made me believe, it didn't hurt to breath
Never again will I be hit by another man
Thank you for helping me to truly see that I am worth more than being his queen. I am my own queen and I always will be.
