Your Lies

For so long you had me under your control Me believing all those lies you told There wasn't a time you didn't put me down So every day I would wear a frown How useless and worthless you made me feel You seemed to do it with such zeal Did you get your ego stroked All those insecurities in me you invoked Lower and lower I had sank I had all of your lies to thank I would always say he's not abusing me For I have no bruises to be seen That was another lie from you I learned But your words my heart and mind did burn Finally did realize what was true The lies you told were really about you I didn't know why I believed all your lies After I had opened my eyes I walked through the door and left you behind A better life I did find I took back my control Let go of those lies you told It took me a very long while I finally relearned to smile 3/25/16
