Governed

I’ve lived a life ruled by others And I shall not be governed by another Not to be forgotten or forsaken Against my will I will not be taken Taken from my sanity Not to live in inhumanity A ruler controlled my thoughts in my mind A young girl I was once left blind Blind to ambitions and dreams I should have had And I was lonely, hopeless, and left to be sad For I no longer am ruled by the demon inside And my hands are no longer bound and tied I rule my life now and what is my destiny For I have been given clemency Free to be, free to live For I have the world, so much to give
