Its my life not yours

Birddie Jane

I don't know why 

I keep coming back

Last time 

I told myself 

It was for good

I was done with you

Done with the games

The manipulations

The lies

The constant contradictions

Telling me one thing

And then another

Leaving me stranded

Not knowing what to do

Or where to go

Either path 

Will break your rules

You insult my intelligence

By leaving your list 

Where I can find it

Yes

I googled the phone numbers 

You take me to places

Say you're just trying to help

And I don't get to say no

When do I get to speak for myself

You fill out personal paperwork

Meant for me 

With questions 

Only I should know the answers to

You change details 

And tell the wrong story

But im obsessive 

For correcting them 

How long 

Have I turned a blind eye

How long 

Am I going to keep doing it

Letting you talk down on me

About me

You want it to be me

It has to be my fault

There must be something wrong with me

Because I called you out

I stopped falling

For your game

I'm not going to be quiet anymore

I'm done letting you chose

The way I get to live

I'm going to tell world

My truth 

I am not scared of you

I have nothing else to lose

But you do

Because if you keep it up

You will lose me forever
