My Emancipation

My Emancipation The convoluted misconceptions concocted in your chaotic mind Will no longer deaden, dim, nor darken the light that I shine Constantly minimizing and compromising, the extent of my plight I’m stepping out of your dark shadow; I’m stepping into the light Hiding behind these disguises, I’ve forgotten my reflection Brushing phony smiles, over the hidden frowns, Just to camouflage the rejection Your bad intent is surpassed only by your insecurities and ignorance I will no longer recite from your ridiculous script I’ve been concealed behind this mask that you painted for far too long Continually reading your words, and singing your songs I’ve followed your painful paths and I have walked far enough You’ve shown me your hand, and now I’m calling your bluff. Unleash, unchain, and unshackle me I am reclaiming my life, I demand to be free.
