Once upon a time there was as girl She had dreams and ambition with an unstoppable vision She dreamt of notes and words, words you could hold Passion you could water and watch her world grow Help, help is my gift, so she charged forth with honor and valor Confused the first time she was told to sexualize her power This is how you make it, they said, just show a little skin No need for a message to get a top 10 My art was assaulted, my intelligence ravaged You said I was worthless, ate my soul like a savage You pulled me beneath the weight of sorrow My bones gave way insidiously It felt like I was over Crushed and buried by the callous, contentious words of my enemy You ruined me for sport and laughed at my corpse Set fire to my purpose, was death my resort? No No to the reins I wore as your prisoner No to the ashes of yesterday's chapter I have to disagree, you were never my author Your cynical cold ignorance now fuels my wild laughter I won't let the damage define the fate of me Today I stand on top of it, defying its gravity I am reborn again not only from fire, but frost The eclipse of hate and love, you can't freeze my arc, you can't melt my grudge So goodbye little villain, sweet nightmare from above 'Cause honey I ride a popsicle made from your blood
