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
