Seeing Red

out of that cold, dark tunnel i found my life & light.
i found my trials have meaning,
they shaped me for life, they fit me for the fight,
they held me upright.
how could i thank you for keeping me from my birthright?
should i kill you now or later?
should i kill myself for good measure?
i never meant to be a rebel,
i just felt there was nothing special in the life you wanted me to lead.
the pain i kept in my heart never rested at your feet, you could never understand,
you were never meant to see.
but i don't understand why you tried burying me, then blaming it on trying to free me,
"one day you'll see".
well that day has come,
& i truly do see that you've been a barrier to my blessing,
just stay away from me.
