You Don’t Own Me

Denial…you are on notice. I’m taking back what’s rightfully mine:
My feelings
My energy
My friends
My family
My personality
My sanity
My life

At first, you seemed to provide an answer- I’ll pretend the problem isn’t there and maybe that will make it true. But denial, you come with more side effects than you are worth.

You see, I didn’t want to admit that I find people who need to be rescued because I wanted to be rescued. I didn’t want to admit that I felt lost and broken inside. I didn’t want to admit that my life had become unmanageable.

But I admit that now, so your power is broken and has been rendered ineffective in my life.

Yeah, I’m gonna be alright.
