Your Slave

somedays i cant escape the feeling

it comes over me like a tidal wave 

and it washes me ashore and says 

I'm a fool and i've been played

Somedays i can't look myself in the eye

I can't tell myself to be brave, 

I feel defeated, deflated, 

Slandered and slated,

Ashamed of my very own name

 

And then in comes the rage, 

In comes the pain, 

The numbness, that says 

What dumbness!

To give someone your love in vain 

And I can't face myself 

And I can't face the shame.

 

Then I look at my son and I know, 

That I've done the right thing, and this baby will grow 

Into a man who respects me for the choices i've made

That I didn't settle for no bullshit

And thats what frees me

From being your slave.
