You tell me this is who I am,
who I’m supposed to be.
But I’m drowning from the inside out
I’m dying, don’t you see?

You’re telling me and telling me
how to live my life.
You don’t care about the things I want
Your hand cuts like a knife.

You fail to listen to the words I speak,
though you hear me loud and clear.
I try so hard to stand my ground,
but I just can’t fight the fear.

I’m done giving away more than I own,
so look now, at me, at my face, and at my plea.
You’ve stolen all my puzzle pieces,
now it’s time to be set free.

Take a good look and soak it all in
because you’ll never get another chance.
Remember this the next time you speak;
that you must always take a second glance.

Use your voice to create sound
that holds far greater meaning
because all I’ve ever known from you
was discouraging and demeaning.

Think before you open that spiteful mouth of yours
and let others control their own body, mind, and heart
because it’s the people like you who make me worry
that someday this world will fall apart.

So this is it, this is my goodbye,
this is all I have left to say.
You don’t get to cry or take everything back
because it’s your fault I didn’t stay.

You ruined me and tore me down
until there were no remains,
now the deep feeling of both everything and nothing
is coursing through my veins.

My life no longer lies
in the palm of your cruel, ****** hand.
Maybe this letter makes me no better than you,
but you will never understand.

So I write to you my final farewell
and I blow you one last kiss
And I hope to God it hurts like hell
when I unmercifully leave you with this.
