Pulled down by my neck
Sidelined and checked
Held down by my shoulders
Digging down deep
And getting colder
Formations of evil manifestations
Erodes my foundation
People of the audience do we have any relation
I can't seem to reach the light switch
Arms reach out in the dark with a twitch
I don't know which side is which
When life gets me down
I can honestly I say it's a bitch
But I won't make another crutch
Won't clutch to another women's touch
Rebirth, new start on this Earth
Take each step for what it's worth.
Wipe off the ashes, and get up
Fill my cup, be my own backup
Time for the garbage pickup
Time to throw the bottle and sober up
Heart is wounded
But still beating
Lungs are heavy but still breathing
Still meet the day with wholesome greeting
But I won't make another crutch
Won't clutch to another women's touch
I have been there and done that
Enough being everyone's doormat
Take your pity and judgment with bat
I won't play the fool
Get caught in another tempest or whirlpool
I'm done being another tool
Instrument never used and discarded
A city bombarded
I won't be converted
To a life of self pity and self infliction
Make depression an addiction
Apply chains and give restriction
But I won't make another crutch
Won't clutch to another women's touch
I am here and now
Alive
