Never Have A Say Poem by Candice Lee

Peel back the flesh
What do you see?
Is it me or
Someone u want me to be?

Been told all my life
If I don’t like it here
Then there is the door
Or will he put me through a wall

Sometimes I wonder
Wonder why im your daughter
Wonder why im on this earth
Your angry one-minute
Then you think its fine the next

Who am I?
I don’t know anymore
You turned me into someone im not
All I want is to be happy
But then again I never have a say

Apparently there is a lot of options
But leaving can never be one
Scared to leave
Scared to fight

One night bruises
One night yelling
What’s the point?
Im never going to be free
