I realize now that you never really cared in that way,
You knew what to say, to take it all away.
You took away the things that make me who I am,
my self-respect, my confidence, my esteem.
In the space of time, you took control, of my mind and my soul.
You thought I was there, to make you feel great,
All you had for yourself was hate.
I have fought a long hard fight,
I need to be me, that is my right.
In the space of time, you took control, of my mind and my soul.
The person I am is not bad,
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad.
I have to travel alone,
To find out I can do it on my own.
I know today, in the space of time,
I have control of my soul and my mind.


Thank you Chalci and Oakwyse.
