What am I to you?
A pathetic rag doll?
An old friend nor new
You don’t care if I fall.

You don’t care.
You don’t love.
You only hate
And twist my fate.

You’ll toss me
Up into a tree.
And around you throw me.
But never let me free.

I must escape.
Escape from you.
You beastly ape.
To a life oh so new.

It feels so weird.
It’s like I’m a bird.
I can forever fly.
Fly high above the sky.
