Disobedience

When you tell me to leave, I stay behind.
When you tell me to speak, I keep silent.
When you tell me to be still, I move away.
When you tell me to smile, I make sure I frown.

You say I'm stupid when he say I'm smart.
You say I'm ugly when he says I'm beautiful.
You say I'm worthless when he says I'm precious.
You say I'm nothing when he says I'm his everything.

He said I'm everything that you'll never be.
He said all he'll ever want is a part of me.
He said that he'll keep me by his side.
He said he'll make me his one and only bride.

I told you that I'll never be what you want me to be.
I realised you were as bitter as black coffee.
I screamed at you like a haunting banshee.
I disobeyed you to finally set myself free.
