You won't win

by barbara   Jul 9, 2006


You go into a fit of rage
Because I've made a mistake
You've locked me up in a cage
like your protection is all it takes

You yell at me for doing wrong
You act like it's the end of the world
Trust that I know what's going on
Even though my past is unfurled

You expect me to be perfect
I'm forced to put on a mask
But I don't think it's worth it
To believe your lies of my past

You think my life is simple
But it's not with you and my pain
I'm lucky? Though I have very little
Happiness due to the strain

It wasn't my fault I know that now
But why did you say it was?
I just don't understand how
You could lie and abuse my trust

I was too young to know better
You said it was OK
So I'm giving you this simple letter
Hoping it will help it go away

You stole my juvenile innocence
You destroyed what i loved as a girl
But i absolutely won't let you win
I won't let you control my whole world.
