Slave to you
Slave to the system
They’ve dumbed down my wisdom.

They’ve put me in a cage



Taught me how to behave






And told me, “Shut Up.”





Ripping away my intellect






With every lie



With every whip






With every slap






With every kick







Push



Shove



Push





Shove
I’m broken
belittled like sand
Small like a pebble
They told me never again.

Sweetie, never again will I hurt you.
Honey, I love you.
Yeah, that’s what they all say.



Push


Shove


Push


Shove
Again and again I’m treated like a slave
Trapped in a cage
Can’t get out

They’ve dumbed down my wisdom.
