I Didnt Chose This Life

I didn’t choose this life
He trapped me in it
I didn’t want
To be here this long
He locked the doors
I could’ve returned
Back to my life
But he broke my wings
And chained me down
Denied me my identity
Destroyed my rights
Tainted my beauty
Isolated me from society
Created me enemies
Assassinating my character
Fucked Up my mind
Preyed on my heart
Broke me down
In myself I no longer believed
How much longer
Must I remain ?
How much longer
Will I be living to survive ?
Or surviving to live ?
How much louder
Will I have to scream ?
Before someone actually
Stops to really hear me
How much more
Am I going to have to take ?
Before I completely give up
And walk to my grave
I didn’t choose
To remain here this long
