why is it that only now i’ve realized

i need to drop you like an expired meal?

how could i have been so blinded?

now the wound you’ve made won’t heal

all these years you’ve controlled me

i abided by your rules and regulations

can’t believe that only now my eyes

have been opened to this revelation

all my memories of us consist of

you thriving while stomping on me

no care of how i feel, that’s been evident

all these years, i’ve never been free

a “friend” was i? ha, funny joke

a wall could do the same job i do

you talk and talk, expect me to sit there

tune in everyday to the show starring you

pressured into not wearing what i want

told i’m not allowed to have other friends

i was your puppet, a prisoner to you

but now i’ve had it, this is where it ends
