Now Listen, You!
Now listen, you!
I know you’re only
trying to keep me
safe or stop me
from hurting again
or whatever but
you’re only causing
me more pain because
I am NOT weak and
I DO deserve love and
I DO deserve happiness
and I’ve had enough of
your doubts and lies
your slanderous tries
to do me down and
keep me down and
you know I’ll always
listen to you but
you are not always
right you know and
you cannot control me
anymore!

Or her. I'm not sure it isn't a'mother-figure.' Either way, it's a strong little poem that reads fast and well.
