Taking Control

It doesn't matter
Who I am to you
As long as I put on an
Act and smile my
Pretend smile.

I wake up in the morning and
I look in the mirror and
I see me
I see myself, just me.

I put on my face and become
a different person,
I become the person
You want me to be.

I walk in
And there you are.
You flash me your fake
Loving smile
But I know it's just an act.

As long as I pretend
My true colors
Won't shine through.

I see right through you
Ya know.
I know the screwed up
Games you play
Cause I used to play them.

Try taking me down
You'll see it won't work
I'm done being your trophy,
I'm done being . . . You.
