I’ve been a target for your unplaced rage,
A wild animal trapped in a cage,
How can I now show my face?
I feel so alone in this place.

Long buried is the pain,
Yet it always resurfaces in the brain,
I must remember it one more time,
A fight ensues for all that plagues my mind.

Trying to find my voice,
At one point in time; I did not have a choice.
You are not here to listen to me,
From your rage I want to be free.

I’ve now decided it’s not my fault,
Emotions that have been locked away for
so many years within this vault.
Thinking that all along you had the key,
Freedom from you was within me.

Somewhere in heaven I hope you can hear,
Your rage I can no longer bear,
I refuse to carry this weight,
This backpack filled with your rage,
I’m letting it go; laying it down.
My inner child was lost,
but now it’s found.

This release from you may not happen overnight,
I know that it’s so right,
This is part of my dream,
From your rage I want to be redeemed.
Love will transform my heart,
Mending what was torn apart.

This in my journey,
From rage to the real me,
This is what it feels to be free.
