Games



You're still playing games
But I'm not
Don't test me
I'm not your puppet
There is no excuse for abuse
You choose it
Because you want to
I'm not your whipping post
You throw rocks and hide hands
Then complain when you're called out for it
I won't be s slave
I won't bow to hate
I won't succor extremists
I won't pretend reality is fake
I don't care who believes what about anything
My life is mine
I have a right to live it
The first half of my life
Molested
I won't go into the second half
Subjected to enalavement again
I don't care who thinks what about it
I'm going to be mine
Until my last breath
So Be It
