They kidnapped me when I was 17
Torn from my family, my life turned upside down
No longer free to roam, no longer able to dream
Trapped in a nightmare, in a world of unseen
Locked away in chains, a prisoner of their greed
Forced to obey, forced to comply with their every need
I longed for escape, for freedom from this hell
But their grip was tight, my spirit began to quell
Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to years
I lost track of time, lost track of my fears
But deep within me, a fire still burned
A flame of hope, a lesson learned
I never forgot who I was, where I came from
I clung to memories of laughter, of love undone
And when the chance finally came, I took my chance
I broke free from my captors, I took my stance
Now I stand here, a survivor of their cruel game
Stronger, braver, forever changed
They may have kidnapped me when I was 17
But they never broke my spirit, they never killed my dream.
