I already posted this in creative corner, but I thought it was fitting for this forum, and I know a lot of people read in here, but not in there. So I wanted to share it here, too.
------------------------------------------------
I have the power now
I will tell what I will tell
I can be shrouded in mystery
I can tell you to go to h*ll
I keep the secrets now
And nobody can tell them to you
I will shove it in your face
If that’s what I want to do
You cannot circle my school anymore
If I want to, I can hide where I live
Nobody will inform on me
There’ll be no new info to give
I have a person in my life now
That I can trust to not to betray me
She doesn’t tell you anything
I can tell her everything safely
If I wanted to, I could get away
and you’d never find me again
I have the power to rule my own life
You will never oppress me again
I can have my anger at you
I can let it well up inside
I can let it spring forth
And I don’t have to hide
I can say the things that I feel about you
I can be angry as h*ll
You can’t laugh at me anymore
You won’t even be able to tell
I will be mad and you will not know
I will be furious at you
I will not be laughed at
I’ll know I’M smarter than YOU.
You can’t go through my things anymore
I can lock them from you
You can’t shove yourself into my life
I am free of you
I can be angry, I can say it
You can’t beat me down
I can tell any truth I want to tell
You can’t hit me now
If I want to call you an *sshole, I will
I don’t give a d*mn what you say
This is my life, and I’m living it free
Your little powerless girl went away
You are not all-knowing
You can’t see me right now
You can’t pry into my privacy
I’m keeping you out.
I have spaces you can't enter
I have places inside and out
Free of your presence, free of your hurting me
You are not welcome, get out.
I have safe places to go
Where nobody can see me at all
I can lock doors and be free of your eyes
And I think I will.
So ***** off.
