Stop telling me what to do, how to speak, how to feel. I'm not listening to you anymore. You don't control me I am reclaiming my body, my life I am reclaiming me For many years you had me restrained. I listened to every word that left your Lips Like the wind blowing through the trees I listened And I felt, and I heard…. And I hurt. You don't control me. I am reclaiming my body, my life I am reclaiming me And no matter how many times you afflict pain on me, Leaving me bruised and scarred I will not listen. My ears are clogged up to your voice And I will not listen. My feelings you cannot manipulate And I will not listen This mind control you once had over me is pulverized And I will not listen You still try to speak, demanding attention with every word that leaves your pitiful mouth Like you are the teacher and I am the student But is it not time for the student to become the teacher I will annihilate you, extinguish you, nuke and shatter you Until you are the one begging for my forgiveness Until you are the one deal dealing with the pain I dealt with for far too long Until you are the one that everyone abhors. You see… I've been dealing with you since the 5th grade. You are the pesky mosquito in my ear that I cannot assassinate. You are always there And I can't eradicate you You don't control me I am reclaiming my body, my life I am reclaiming me. Depression, anxiety I am terminating your hold over me This relationship is deceased. Your words are mute in my ear And I cannot listen.
