And if he won't give me a blessing

I'll have to leave anyway

I cannot remain in a cage, a prison

I will not remain locked away

First of all, a question

How can someone give me a blessing

When all they bring are curses

I will not ask him for a blessing

He would just give another curse

Since I am a curse

How can I be blessed

As soon as I am gifted with a job

With financial means, I will be gone

Never heard from again

I have been pinned down and abused for so long

My wings are itching to be freed

Seventeen is too young

But soon, I will escape

Please let me escape

And maybe my mother will rest

A blessing upon my head
