You're Wrong


The words you said this morning
Started a fire inside of me;
I can't wait to prove you wrong
I will be something, you'll see

Every word you spat
Was an attack on who I am,
But with shield held firm and sword up high,
I will continue to stand

Your verbal venom did not hurt, rather
It only fueled my rage,
For I've been forced to mentally shut down,
Make myself numb to your spiteful ways
~And knowing that you've had this effect
Only further feeds the insanity;
For you've made my own emotions
A secret, even to me

Someone told me once
That the only thing worse than feeling worthless
Was feeling nothing at all
I have you, now, to thank
For forcing me to begin this emotionless fall
~You've taken everything away;
My self-worth, all good feelings I had
Now my life seems pointless,
Merely destined to end up in a body bag

My opinion holds no value
All thoughts are tossed aside
You expect me to be your robot;
Say "Jump," I ask "How high?"
~My brain functions on its own accord
I refuse to be your puppet;
And the fact that I fight back scares you,
For I will never submit

I hold my life in my own hands
They will be the ones to mold it
You possess no power, no final say;
Your tyranny has no influence
~My future still being shaped,
You will not be permitted to taint me
Great things lie in my path,
Accept it or no, I have a destiny

You must come to realize
That your hold on me has loosened
This vice grip is no more,
Your acidic words, now, will end
~In conclusion I leave you with this,
I bring you back to reality;
Every little thing you said was wrong
Therefore your words no longer hurt me
