Today was the day I set him free Even the best men couldn't stand me I'm loud, and im blunt, and I say what I mean Yet I let them use me as a way to blow steam I say "set them free" to distract from the guilt I couldn't stand for myself or for the person I built I give great advice but don't take it myself I make excuses for their actions and how they felt They start off so charming and draw you in You can't argue with a man you will never win There's an excuse for an excuse and a reason for a reason They hurt you, say sorry, and you start to believe them I'm young and dumb and I wanted to be seen But abuse is a lot for anyone, and im only 18 I ran from my house and thought he'd be home He isolated me and hurt me,im nothing but alone So i ran again to a different state I met a new guy who would lie to my face He was sweet and kind with beautiful blue eyes But its those same eyes that i would start to depise He'd yell and excuse his disgusting behaviour Try to blame it on his past and human nature He's hurt, he's broken , he is never to blame But his words are sharp and put me through pain I sometimes blame my mother,which I know isn't good But she never taught me what a good man was, i dont even know if she could She enabled the behaviour and said they would change Men are simple creatures. No time makes a change I wonder if im too much and if they are really good I should be quiet and listen like a good girlfriend should Maybe next time I will learn something new Turn myself into someone who is not even true But for now, I am me, and yes, i am angry This is a f*ck you to the men you thought they could tame me
