The Value of Life
The Value of Life
I am no longer your emotional slave
You do not hold value in my life
I survived through all your beatings
You took away so many things
You crushed the spirit from me
Leaving me afraid of living
When I got up, you kicked me down
I always recovered, just to spite you
You no longer frighten me
I know what it is to lose everything
I feel no shame in losing now
I want you to know I have no fear
The one thing that you taught me
Nothing is truly lost if it is not given
I want to embrace you and thank you
Because you showed me the value of life
You knew you were going to win
That there would be no retribution
Well, Dad, light up the victory cigar
You made me evaluate my life
I have no value
I am worthless
I have never existed
I am not real
I am
Not
