Life

Trying to have some control over their own life.

My eyes are further dimming,

Withholding all emotions.

My deadened gaze falls upon the light,

I turn away,

‘Cause it burns.

I know I don’t belong there,

Not somewhere I should be.

So I walk back into the shadows,

Where forever I shall remain.

So please stop trying to drag me into a place,

That I should not be.

 

I won’t let myself be controlled,

Because I refuse to be bound,

Especially not to you.

Why can’t you just let me be?

Let me just waste away,

Leave me to my own devices.

Stop trying to use me as your tool,

‘Cause you should know,

I’m nobody’s puppet.

I’m not an object that can be controlled.

You can try all you want,

I dare you.

But it won’t end well,

I grant you.

In this deadly dance for control,

I will never admit defeat.

Especially if it’s for control over my so-called life.
