The Price of Freedom
The Price of Freedom
When will it happen again?
Didn't he love me like when we began?
Black eyes and a heart that won’t heal
Holding my own to stop the ordeal.
I knew if I did better, the assaults would cease.
My behavior did nothing to maintain the peace.
Nowhere to run and hide
he will catch me in a stride
Each lesson learned
Left wounds that burned
Don’t talk back
Or everything will go black
Keep your eyes on me
There is nowhere else for you to be.
You are mine to do as I please,
You will put out when I tell you and not be a tease.
You are trapped with no way out
His betrayal and abuse confirmed I deserved it, without a doubt.
Found my inner strength and voice
With my spirit intact, I made the choice.
My freedom would not be easy
The road to get there was not breezy.
I thank the Lord for His divine intervention
I left the abuse behind hanging in suspension.
I’m free at last and my life is a blast.
