Goddess, whore, wife, slave
Goddess, whore, wife, slave
useless labels of men's creation
I am none of the above
My path, my fate and doom
are my creations alone
I stand within the storm
and scream
"Is that all you're got?"
as I'm beaten to my knees
Hiding behind a smile and makeup,
this life does not own me
and it never did
My heart and soul are free
And stronger than your fists
Bruises heal in time
as does my hate,
leaving me standing in the storm
I have no need to speak,
it's all been said before
Goddess, whore, wife, and slave,
I am all of the above,
yet I am so much more
useless labels of men's creation
I am none of the above
My path, my fate and doom
are my creations alone
I stand within the storm
and scream
"Is that all you're got?"
as I'm beaten to my knees
Hiding behind a smile and makeup,
this life does not own me
and it never did
My heart and soul are free
And stronger than your fists
Bruises heal in time
as does my hate,
leaving me standing in the storm
I have no need to speak,
it's all been said before
Goddess, whore, wife, and slave,
I am all of the above,
yet I am so much more

To keep your heart and soul intact through such hardship is a feat beyond words, yet you've captured exactly how it looks. For me, in the end, I can relate to your lines in that 'I had no need to speak, it's all been said before' - I was done. Your strength shows through this write!
