medusa (my revenge)
for the survivors | for the "Tattoo This Line" Challenge
when i wake up and get out of bed
(the ghost of you tried to chain me to it again)
when i cherish my scarred up body
(the physical ones left long ago, but i still see them)
when i leave my home
(i have to, only you belong in a prison cell)
when i go to work
when i go to the movies
when i hang out with my friends
(the world never stops turning)
when i forgave you
(and took away your power)
when i sing
when i smile
when i laugh
when i breathe
when i turned what you did into strength
my revenge
is surviving
and then living
