Say My Name

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

I know that you can feel me
Burrowing deep into your skin
I've been here since the apple tree
and though you're blind to my grin
You hear my voice as you flee
The wolves inside the sheepskin.
For eons I have watched you fall
Kicked to bleeding by his shoe
A front row seat to the brawl
Where the only loser is you
I beg you, stand up and recall
Who you were before his hatred grew.
Stand up tall, despite the pain
After cowering so long, you'll surely ache
Break the chains he used to restrain
Look in his eyes, make him shake
Scream defiantly in the rain
Stand tall, even if your bones break.
Retrieve the memory of my name
How it feels upon your tongue
Watch it's power begin to reframe
All the traps that he's sprung
Stand up tall and take your aim
And pierce him in his lung.
Say my name, let it take control
Leave behind your chains
No longer will you be a lost soul
Or a horse held by the reins
No more hiding in your hole
Instead, you'll pump regret into his veins.
