A Revenge Song

You know, there’s a limit to what I will take;

I’m not made of glass, but still, I might break.

Don’t say that I’m weak; that mistake is too old

When your biggest mistake is about to unfold.

-

I know you think that I won’t fight what I’ve heard;

Yes that was me hanging off your every word,

But soon there will come a time in my life

Where I take back what’s mine with a twist of a knife.

-

For I’m sick and tired of this petty game,

While you’re playing with fire I’m taking the blame.

I won’t be held down by the weight of your scorn;

Before I’m done, you’ll be sorry you’re born.

-

Trust has a limit, and I’ve finally reached mine;

I know that right now you think this is fine,

But I won’t just bow down with my head on the block

If you think I’m that weak, be prepared for a shock.

-

I’m not beaten enough to give in to the pain;

I won’t see the sun til I’ve walked through the rain.

And there’s more meaning in the raise of my head,

Than in all of the words about me that’s said.

-

No matter how you hurt me, I know I won’t fall;

So how does it feel with your back against the wall?

No matter the pressure, I know I won’t run;

So how does it feel when you’re finally outdone?

-

There’s a razor-sharp danger in all of my looks;

I’m no longer the girl who hides in her books

You really think that I’ll submit to your hate?

I won’t just blindly give in to my fate!

-

It’s time that I stand and fight what is wrong;

Injustice is more than a word for the strong.

I’m facing the music and it’s my time to dance;

I’m going to break you and you don’t have a chance.

-

I’m so sick and tired of this petty game;

I think that it’s time you start taking the blame.

You won’t make me yield with your common scorn,

And I won’t back down when the hate is reborn.
