I’ve Learned; Prove Them Wrong Instead of Right
Never was one to put up a fight
never was one to prove I’m right
never was one to prove you wrong
I’d rather prove you right.
Then one day it became clear,
prove them wrong instead
what were you doing?
So sensitive to people’s cues
alarming presences known
but not this time.
That is all over
and for once I will
become the phoenix
rising out of the ashes
to prove to myself
you were wrong.
To show you maybe things aren’t what they seem
that maybe I was right
could you imagine that?
Or have you no decency
to admit when you are wrong.
I will never be what you said I was
It was just a projection of you
engulfing my persona
like a vulture who wouldn’t stop
eating its prey.
But I am not your prey
and it is not a weakness
to love so much
your soul becomes what people think.
Now the only thing
I do is fight,
fight for you
and fight for me.
Now I am rising up
no longer settling
for your words,
only mine.
