Rise

You say I am shame
No intellect does reflect
Placed to lose the game
I need you to protect

To face your words so cold
Turn cheek when you strike
Always do as I am told
Only as you like

Smile never frown
Don’t talk out of turn
Always polish your crown
Be singed as you burn

Clean up the mess you make
Constantly give all of me
Never need nor want to take
That’s better than being free

I believed I was worth nothing
Your torture worked well
I am more than your play thing
I have awoken from your spell

Scars map my body and mind
Swallowing my blood every night
Only used when you needed to unwind
Blows effecting my sight

Today this misery will end
For it is time for me to rise
Tonight your bones will bend
For you to face your demise.
