Used

by Brittany M.
(Michigan)

You used me for my talents,
Much to my shame.
For every failure,
I was to blame.

I let it continue,
Long after I knew.
Now, after all this time,
I am through with you.

I have freed myself,
Not that you know.
I have freed my body,
I have reclaimed my soul.

You thought you still owned me,
Thought you still had control.
I will warn you this once,
For old times sake.

If you continue on this path,
Your life you will forsake.
