I control me

From now on 

Every decision I make

Is mine 

My body is 

Not a battlefield

You have not 

Conquered me

My body is mine

It sings in 

Glorious harmony

The essence of my being

My strength and

Beauty

A rose, trampled

Is still beautiful 

The act of 

Destruction

Speaks only of the 

Character of the destroyer

Not the destroyed

I was destroyed 

Now rebuilt

Iron steel and bone

Untouchable 

I take myself 

From the bathroom floor

Take my hand 

The hero I was 

Longing for is 

Me

I will save myself

The power is mine

No one dictates my

Future

But me 

Your grasp is slipping

From around my neck

You are losing 

C

O 

N

T

R

O

L

Tremble with fear

The victim is

Scared no more

The caged girl

Has been released

More powerful than

A thousand suns 

Phoenix rising 

Her strength glowing 

From her core

She walks unafraid

Empowered
