I'd rather eat dinner
Alone, and in peace
Than with stress
From someone
Who treats me like they're a beast
I'd rather have no one
With whom to share my wine
Than have an evening ruined
Like time after time
after time, after time, after time, after time.......
I'd rather take a selfie
If there's no one here to say
"Hey, you sure look great!"
On whatever day
I'd post it to the world,
For "the record"
And maybe get "likes"
But that's more than I get from you,
Whose "fun" is to fight.
And I've got good friends
Who offer more than hate
No, I'm NOT yours to ruin - in private
From you, I'll escape
If you want to be a psychopath
Go find yourself a mirror
And speak your lies and threats to yourself
I sure hope no one hears.
If you want to be a narcissist
Kiss yourself in the glass
Then say the abusive things you've said to me
Do you see yourself as a gas?
You can spend your night manipulating
Your remote control, not me
And no, that won't work to shut me off -
I'm not under your control, I'm FREE
So enjoy your programming
I've got better things to do
And guess what - they're all away from you
But hey - you've got you.
No, I won't be repeating this
I don't need to be blue in the face
I'll just stay calm, and keep
Great company with God
And enjoy blessings,
Like this chocolate cake. :)
