I will stand up and speak out
For the times you derogated me
and made me feel less of life.
The times you slammed me and
made me swallow the pain.
For deriving pleasure in my
pain and enslaving my body,
I will stand up and speak out.
Amidst wails and pleas you
relish my suppleness
not minding the beautiful scars you imprint.
The beastly laughter of satisfaction you let out
And your creepy smile
I will stand up and speak out.
Now I am brave
I am strong enough to resist
Strong enough to slam back,
to ignore the pains in pleasure
to look you in the face and say, Enough!
And to stand up and speak out.
