Break Free!


There are some things that I dont understand:

Why you've taken your dignity and put it on a stand?

Why you let them gawk at your body and name

why you participate in their little game

of displaying our body for their pleasure;

believe me, to them, you are no treasure.

And although you may halfheartedly insist 

that this is your choice, I know that it isn't.

I only wish you'd manage to break free

of what people have branded you to be
