Part of a Game

I was just 
Part of a game.
The chess piece y'all 
thought you could 
move whenever or wherever you want. 
A perfect family that 
You created in your mind. 
Some one you could manipulate 
How you want. 
You thought you could
Make me like a doll. 
That you can mold 
Me into the person you want 
You thought had all 
The cards in the game. 
Till I turned the tablea around. 
On y'all 
I was once the fool in your game 
That fell for tricks 
Till I saw your true colors.
No longer wanting to play 
Your games
No longer wanting to play 
The part you created
