Remember the pain

That’s what they say

So I don’t give myself away

I try not to play

I stay astray

For your sake

Russian roulette

I’m not for keeps

And you don’t have the key

So please don’t leap

It’s going to hurt you

I won’t see it through

The shoe won’t fit

I took the hit

It split my lip

Slit my throat

I wrote some poems

Cried over some quotes

I have this pride

Ride or die

That’s no longer me

In my power

I’m free

Please do not plea

Just let me be
