Stand Up

Words spew past her lips
Like acid dripping shards
Of glass
Piercing deeply into your heart

A worthless human being
Child with an empty soul
Her excuse to dismiss
What she really sees inside

The vicious cycle repeats itself
Endlessly over time
Until your head is spinning with emotion
And hate rises from deep within

This cycle will stop tonight
No longer shall you endure
The cruel abuse that is your life
The story must be rewritten

It is time to break free from the shackles
Stand up and shout your voice
For no destiny is ever set in stone
Life can change overnight
