From the time I was small
I thought no, not me
I will never, not ever
Be treated like debris

As time shuffled on
Years passed me by
I thought no, not me
As I heard lie after lie

Confirmation overwhelming
Right in front of my face
No, can't happen to me
Avoided thoughts of disgrace

Opened my eyes one day
Tried to face reality
Oh this can't have happened
No, this just cannot be

Remembering the dreams
Of youth and of age
Locked up and imprisoned
Seethed anger and rage

I always thought
Never could happen
But it did, had to face it
Horrid thoughts to fathom

One day I woke up
And thought no, not to me
I won't stand for it anymore
So I set myself free

Those years are long gone
Hard to even remember
One thing stands in my mind
Never again, not ever
