Wherever she goes

She brings a spirit

Of darkness and oppression

That pierces my soul

And exasperates my mind

Although I am different

She has not changed

Always there to push me

To get her supposed "helpful"

Ideas drilled into my head

Her presence is so stifling

Bringing me hurt

Squeezing out tears

I cannot even bear

To look her in the eye

What am I waiting for?

She can't live my life for me

As hard as she tries

She'll never control me

Because I am elusive to her

I am like a butterfly

She is my cocoon

She is always close to me

Forever near yet forever detached

Because never will she be me

Someday I will grow

I will be strong

Able to leave her being

To spead my wings

And fly away from this place
