You have no power over me
No longer your puppet

A flurry of emotions doubt, fear, exhilaration! You want me?Â
But I’m just a girl trying to pull herself up from the last heartbreak, nothing special.
Buy you, you with your good looks and charming performance played the part of the knight in shinning armor.
You made me your princess, dressed me in fine clothes, fed me expensive food and wine, made me your accessory.
You showered me with affection and poured out your love ...as long as I went along with your desires, your wants, and met your needs.
As long as I gave up everything I wanted and made space for only you. As long as I made myself into the person you thought I should be. Making you look good. No longer thinking for myself, no longer having opinions different from yours, no longer being me.
Enough is enough. I can’t expect you to understand my decision, for you can’t see beyond your own interests. You can threaten, you can beg, you can try to reel me in and sell me on how I’m making a big mistake, but know this... you had my love, and it was real, and you shit all over it.  Your powers don’t work on me anymore. I’ll do what’s best for me and you were never it.Â
Now you’re left alone, scary isn’t it? Someone so needy should learn to care about the needs of others but that’s not the narcissistic way. I feel bad for you, but I’m not willing to be your puppet anymore.Â
