Crawl



Returning is no longer an option
I crawl through the dark forest
Searching for a way out
I crawl not for forgiveness
I crawl no longer for you
I crawl for fetal Desertion
I crawl to sacrifice the thing I detest the most
No mercy for the young
No mercy for your young
Never again will I be your vessel
No longer shall I beget your offspring
I will never crawl in your direction
Crawling for freedom
Drips Drips
I feel the heart beating
It pains
But I still crawl
With every inch of my being
I crawl towards freedom
Frustration will not become my undoing
Hope will become my catalyst
I crawl for the sake of fetal desertion
