Black Sheep Anthem

You see me as selfish, ungrateful, and cold A story you've told, over and over retold You paint me in shades that don't reflect me But I'm more than the monster you choose to see I've given my all, bent 'til I break, but your demands Are a never-ending ache Love isn't meant to drain and abuse, it's not a Chain you can tighten and use Call me selfish, call me rude, ungrateful, difficult Your bitter truth I'll wear the name, I'll bear the weight, but I won't Live in your toxic state I'm the black sheep, and I'm breaking free, I choose My worth, I choose to be me You demand I give without an end, my heart, my time My will to bend But love isn't sacrifice left unreturned, it's a fire That warms, not one that burns If standing my ground makes me your foe, then I'll Take the name and let it show I won't bow down, won't play your game, I've found My strength in the shame you proclaim Call me selfish, call me rude, ungrateful, difficult Your bitter truth I'll wear the name, I'll bear the weight, but I won't Live in your toxic state I'm the black sheep, and I'm breaking free, I choose My worth, I choose to be me You don't see the love I've shown, the kindness I give When I'm alone Your expectations are a prison cell, but I've escaped Your living hell I won't be your puppet, your silent pawn, your hold On me is forever gone If standing alone means I'm on my own, I'll build A family where love is shown Call me selfish, call me rude, ungrateful, difficult Your bitter truth I'll wear the name, I'll bear the weight, but I won't Live in your toxic state I'm the black sheep, and I'm breaking free, I choose My worth, I choose to be me Black sheep and proud, I stand tall, I've found my Strength beyond it all Your words can't chain what I've become, I'm more Than your lies-I'm not undone If standing my ground makes me your foe, I've found My strength beyond it all Your words can't chain what I've become, I'm more Than your lies-I'm not undone.
