I Refuse To Be Your Victim

I WILL STAND UP
‘Cause I will not be the victim anymore,
I WILL NOT BREAK,
All this pain inside has numbed me to the core,
DON’T WALK AWAY,
I know you hear me,
And I will not let it go,
‘Cause its time the world saw,
Your pathetic power show...

 

 I’m bruised and battered,
Black and broke,
I’m bleeding… hopeless,
(All alone)
I’m waking up,
The pain inside,
Is burning through and into bone,
As I lay here,
In all my blood,
That’s freely flowing from my skin,
You tear me down,
Then build me up,
But I will never let you win.
You kiss my lips,
Tell me you’re sorry,
But it won’t mean anything,
Because an angel cannot fly,
When you’ve broken both her wings.
I won’t give in,
(I won’t surrender)
To your silly little game,
All you do is shatter bones,
All you’ve given me is pain…

 

I WILL STAND UP
‘Cause I will not be the victim anymore,
I WILL NOT BREAK,
All this pain inside has numbed me to the core,
DON’T WALK AWAY,
I know you hear me,
And I will not let it go,
‘Cause its time the world saw,
Your pathetic power show.
I WILL NOT CRY,

I refuse to be… beaten down again,
I WON’T ABIDE,
By your conduct code or any of your sins,
ALL YOUR LIES,
They don’t mean a thing,
I’m settling the score,
I refuse to be your victim,
I WON’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE.

 

I’m cold and lost,
I’m dead inside,
I’m screaming… hopeless,
(I’m alone)
While starring into,
This dark mirror,
And it chills me to the bone.
I reach out,
To touch the glass,
This reflection can’t be me,
All the bruises,
All the scars,
Shinning for the world to see.
No, I won’t hide,
And I won’t fake,
Just to prove you haven’t won,
‘Cause no amount of make-up,
Will cover what you’ve done.

 

I WILL STAND UP
‘Cause I will not be the victim anymore,
I WILL NOT BREAK,
All this pain inside has numbed me to the core,
DON’T WALK AWAY,
I know you hear me,
And I will not let it go,
‘Cause its time the world saw,
Your pathetic power show.
I WILL NOT CRY,

I refuse to be… beaten down again,
I WON’T ABIDE,
By your conduct code or any of your sins,
ALL YOUR LIES,
They don’t mean a thing,
I’m settling the score,
I refuse to be your victim,
I WON’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE.

 

(With my body off the floor,
With my eyes no longer wet,
With my mind no longer stained)
DO YOU F*****G HEAR ME YET?

Author's Note

This is the condensed version... and I had several issues shortening. I would appreciate suggestions on how to cut the length and make this more manageable.

I like it at the length it is now. If you want to shorten it, however, I guess you could take out the parts that repeat. But I don't suggest it, 'cause I like it.
I get the gist of it, I think. Domestic violence. It reminds me of this song, actually, because it has the exact same meaning, only from someone else's point of view. I like the last line a lot as well. Just the added emphasis makes it something that will be remembered.
