Control
Control its the power of easily manipulating someone.
Telling them what to do, what to wear and how to live.
It's them discriminating against you because you're different.
They feel empowered Superior when they are getting what they want.
They know they can tell you what to do and you'll listen simply because you have no choice.
They see you as your disability and not as a regular person.
They underestimate you think that you can't think for yourself or take care of yourself when you have been for years.
And When you finally break free from them and their control they turn on you.
They are mad they call you names they disown you they tell you your dead to them and turn people against you.
And you are relieved that you are not being controlled anymore.
You're finally your own person it's a bittersweet feeling but still takes its toll on your mental health sometimes.
It's you learning to be strong but not trusting anyone.
It's scary and you feel alone but you can do it you have to do it.
You have no choice you have to learn to be strong to stay strong.
There are days where you feel like you're going to break but you hold it together.
You hide your pain behind a mask so no one can see it and you hide it well.
There are things you can and can't control I'm not one of them.
