You took away my innocence

My hopes, my dreams, my youth

You took from me my very soul

What could have been, I never knew

Your words would cut me deep inside

Deep to the very core

Darkness. Cold. I could not feel

Why did you hate me so?

... You crushed me as I screamed in pain

Your words ripped out my heart

The world grew dull. I felt insane

Did you ever care about that part?

Is that what you wanted all along?

"I win!" "You lose!" A game?

Control, submission, guilt, defeat

Yet, I still remain

It was for a child that I lived

Although I rather would have died

Now, how I thank God for that child!

Because of her, I have survived

I will live in spite of you

You no longer have a say

My Life, my Body, my Mind, my Soul

You will never again have control

Whether in this world or in the next

Justice will have a way

You hurt me and you almost won

But "You Lost!", I have to say

A new Dawn breaks of Hope and Peace

Of Happiness and Grace

From me, these things YOU CANNOT TAKE

My head held high, I walk by Faith
