Wild, Free and Young

they tormented my soul,
they bashed me as a whole,
they crushed my hope into pieces,
and carved around creases.

i had almost gave in,
i had made my mind,
that i could never shine,
that nobody could be mine.

but i was wrong,

don't need somebody
to be mine, and don't want
the darkness to fill with
un-owned light

i will rise,
i will break all ties,
for they don't matter,
for it's me i love the most.
