My Own Person
October 24, 2012
I will not be commanded
I will not be controlled
Your dark hate and presence will forever be destroyed
How you take the happiness from me, the light from my eyes, and
The breathtaking smile on my face.
But I will not let you control my life and leave me miserable
I will not embrace the bitterness that wants to take hold of me like it did with you
Im my own person now
Get used to it
