Why won’t you take your leave of me
I do not like your company
You hang around me day and night
It matters not how much I fight
Indeed there are times you quiet down
But I know full well you lurk around
There are times I am able to escape from your chains
Yet I’m never truly able to fully regain
My independence, my freedom, like before you existed
I fear that your weight can never be lifted
And so I’ve tried very hard to embrace
The reality of you in my life and my space
How could something so serious; a tyrant like you
Remain such a mystery, with no answers and few clues
So many times I want to concede and give up
Yet the fire inside me, will never let up
I’m too feisty, too positive, to let you take me down
I’ll face every challenge; adapt and overcome
So, you can walk along side me as long as you like
But you’ll never own me, no matter how hard you strike
I will not wait around while you conjure your plan
I will go on living the best that I can
I will laugh, and I will love, and I’ll continue to dream
You picked the wrong person, for I like the extreme
And if you are with me till the last breath I take
I will smile as I leave you, just know that is your fate!
