You Don't Have Control Over Me

Santajah Douglass

I won't let you control me or the way I see things 

I won't let you control me or tell me what I need

I won't let you control me  because I refuse to be a puppet on your strings  

 

Your always like do this do that

Your always like better seen then heard 

Your always like she just a girl and nothing more 

 

I won't let you control me or the way I see things

I won't let you control me or tell me what I need

I won't let you control me because I'm the master of my faith and I control the air I breathe

  • Comment from author about the poem: I wasn't always the way I am and it took years to understand that there was so much more to me. I'm not a bottle you can use and dispose of later. I'm not a puppet who waits for your next commands or movements. I'm more then just a face and it ashamed that some of us don't get be seen for who we are. You get tired of the same old thing and same old treatment. It not fun to be used and controlled as if you don't have feelings. My point in my poem is if you feel this way then stand up for yourself and don't let someone else decide what is best for you. The most powerful voice is inside your own head. Let it out because when you do you are so much more free then you ever thought you could be. The world can be cruel but just remember it doesn't have to be and what best for you can only be decided by you.

    It's a beautiful lesson to learn that you are truly free when you realize that you are the creator of your own truth and happiness. I was much older when I finally learned this for myself.
