Im Done

Its time for you to know
that im through being your little girl

im done acting like i care
im finished being your puppet

this is my life
and no matter what you say
im going to live it my way

your words no longer haunt me
and you cant guilt me anymore

i will follow my dreams
my aspirations
and my wishes

so what if i dont want to go to college!
who cares if i work at a grocery store my whole life

shouldnt you care that im happy?
shouldnt you want me to be?

but no
you never have and never will

all you cared about
was yourself.

its no surprise dad left
its no wonder i counted the days till i was free
till i hit 18, the number of liberation.

and now that i am free
i realize everything you did
you did for me
im sorry
