Go ahead.

Pin the red letter upon my breast
You can take all the oxygen from my chest
If only I was a touch stronger
Perhaps my high would have lasted longer
I broke like a dam; my emotion fled out
So much anger built up, I had to shout
Scream for my independence, scream for me
In hopes that you might possibly see
How you control my strings, all my ways
I'm so impulsive, almost in a haze
You took me in and held me tight
It was nice for a second to feel something right
But you change so fast and I'm all so lost
You leave and come just like the frost
So go ahead, lie to me more
Keep me a secret and close the door
You're not my favorite and never will be too
Make me jump around, spin in circles for you
I'm dizzy and tired, and fighting to get by
Cut so deep, I've no intention to try
Can't stand your tactics or the havoc you wreak
But mostly I'm upset with how you made me weak
Tripping and stumbling, I lost my way back
Reinforcement isn't the only feeling I lack
Evolved for the best, yet lost my lead
A possible fresh beginning is all I need
On the verge of tears, I sit and stare
Pondering how you were simply unable to care
I fell for your trap, snatched all your bait
You never were quite forced to wait
Messed up ever since; I let hell go
I gave it away despite what I know
Reflection of mistakes; who I could have been
Learning my lesson again and again
Please let me go, I've already lost it all
Just let me leave, I need to embrace the fall
The way you smile; your unconventional ways
Processing my thoughts may take all but days
I'm down to begging now, simply let me be
Stand ten paces back so I'm able to see
See who I am; picture the act on my own
Crawl away from distractions; make me known
Done with you, done being cut to the core
I evolved to Odysseus now; I'm coming home from the war.
