She is controlling

He is drunk

She screams

He talks


She blames

He silent

She cries

He walks


He will never leave her

She hates him

Their children are scared

Their son does not understand


Their teenage daughter wishes to leave

She is tired

She is alone

She is done


Once 18 comes about

She is out

Parents make her guilty

Leaving so quickly


But...

She is done!

She wishes to leave

Someone waits for her


She must get to him

Forbidden love

Flying like a dove

Her heart soars 


Metal creaking

Metal groaning

She is pulling

To freedom 


Chains are breaking

Wing spreading

She is taking off

They are begging her to stay


She says: I will only return for my brother. You, my parents have hurt me, abused me for far too long and I must leave for I want to be free of this burden. Do care for him, my brother. Make sure he is happy and when he sad tell him all he must do it call and I will come for him. Only for him since he has never...ever hurt me like you two have. Have a good life.


She is 18

She is gone

She is free
