Finally I get to say it
This is it
Used to throw a fit
And then get hit
Or cry with my lips bit
To keep it descreet
Because I was not ready to leave the pit
Was in chains
Like an animal ready for slaughter
For years I had no laughter,
Just pains ,
Pains of being a daughter
Who knew nothing but rain,
Rain of tears
I decided to tame a lion
Was naive as a new born
To feed it with corn
Waking up in the morn
Disarmed myself quite unaaware
A leopard can never change its spots
And in the end I fell into its den and it devoured me to the last bone
Now I know why am covered in pain
I am the daughter of pain
One without gain
Who cries tears as rain
One with unrequited love
