I will leave

You taunted me, looked down on me

Saw me weak and fragile

As if my whole life I will beg on my knees

But how could you, you are my family?

Ive studied and trained

So I can at least have a chance to get out of this hell, this pain.

But you wont allow me to be free from these mental chains

Going to college is my dream, its everything to me!!

But you question every single step I take

"How much is this gonna be? What are you gonna make?

Are you ready for this life to take? What about her? Are you going to leave her astray?

Don't throw your life away! You dont need this, you dont need any of it.

Stay here in this house you will fit!"

How can you deny me my dream?

A dream possible and capable for me to achieve

I love you all but i must leave

With or with out your blessing

I will leave
