I OWE YOU NOTHING

Don't be a item. Be someones prize. Something that they cherish. Never lose your pride.

 

 

Stepping into my own means I paid all that was owed. 
I will no longer pay a toll to your ever devouring troll. 
For years you have dogged me; taking everything I have. 
You treated me like a slave and laughed when things got bad. 
I became your project and I was afraid to let you go. 
You paid for my devotion with your fancy cars and flashy clothes. 

To you I was always tethered; you would never set me free. 
You decided every destination and everyone we'd ever see. 
When you are a toy for pleasure you rarely see the day. 
You get pulled out of the closet only when someone wants to play. 
It took a while to find me; I was lost in my utter shame. 
I finally found my worth and things will never be the same. 

I owe you absolutely nothing because I paid it all with my pride. 
I gave you all my passion, while you destroyed my worth inside. 
Today I step into my own; I owe you nothing in return. 
I am smarter, wiser, and stronger; only owning what I've learned.
