The Ending of An Era
“Why are you doing that with your hair?”
“Babe, I don’t care.”
“You’re not allowed to do that.”
“Sweetie just lose a little fat.”
These demons assault me
They consume everything that is happy
Now when I regard the mirror
I remember a time when I could think clearer
No insecurities, no hiding
No listening to your ugly complaints, your chiding
I dreamed of happiness and what I could have accomplished
Now my future feels lost and all my plans lay demolished
I entrusted all this and more at your feet
Then you took advantage, burned it and life is bittersweet
You left fingerprints on a masterpiece, why didn’t you wear a glove?
You said it, you said “love”, but that’s not love
I didn’t think you were fully to blame yesterday
No, I let you mold me like a slab clay
But
Today you take back your lies
Today signifies the end of our ties
Today shows that my life is good in my eyes
Today I need no one’s approval, I’m ending my disguise
