You make no sense
You make me bitter and un-content
You threw away my freedom and bought me hate
You have made life a distant fate

I wish on all the power in my mind
That you could fall and leave me behind
You drag me down like a curtain drawn
Swept away my love of life
And made me this wreck of strife

The habit kicked in its face
But still you won’t give up
Shut up and take it
That I hate you in my life
And I want nothing more
Than to escape this constant battle
You’re winning in my head
But I will beat you one day

Nothing can break me
But you do try hard
And when I finally leave
You won’t know the way to carry on
And you will follow
So I will leave you a system of escape
But don’t follow
Find your own fate.

Good thoughts in this poem. Some do live vicariously and it is important to take back our power.

Warm regards, Pat
