I am done being who you want me to be
I am done seeing what you want me to see
I am done doing what you want me to do
I am done with regrets so I no longer rue!
I am done agreeing to everything you say
I am done following, doing things your way
I am done wearing what you approve of
I am done with instructions, so please stop!
I am done keeping quiet, done with silence
I am done cloaking my hurt as resilience
I am done being prey to emotional abuse
I am done being blamed, I now simply refuse!
I am done being a possession, to be shown
I am done not having an identity, my own
I am done donning avatars to bow and please
I am done with servitude, yes finally, jeez!
I am done not being heard, having a voice
I am done living my life as per your choice
I am done with the morbid illusion of love
I am done, I know now, that I myself am enough!
