Controlled

Controlled

You controlled me,
Who I wanted to be

Who I was as a person,
And as a son

I wanted to be fitted to perfection,
While it was only depression 

Even with you gone,
Your never really gone

Still the puppeteer,
Controlling and full of anger

While I’m left with strings,
That still stings

I’m controlled.
