Spineless

You’re spineless
You have no backbone
Just a jellyfish flapping through the ocean
A bag floating on the breeze
A human doormat letting others walk upon thee
You’re directionless and rudderless
With no star to guide you
A sheep without a shepherd
A nomad without a home
A puppet on a string

“Dance,” they tell you, so dance you do
“Walk,” they tell you, so you do that too
“Sit, stay, roll over, speak,” are commands they give
“Come or go,” but not as you please
Only act when I tell you to act
Do as I say, I’ll guide you down the right path
Muzzle yourself so I don’t have to
Censor yourself for you speak false truths
I know what’s best for you for I am your master
I will guide you cause you’re lost without me

No more I say
I’m done with this
I will live in fear no longer
I am not your bitch
I am my own person
I am greater than this
I live the life I wanna live
For I was meant for better than this
I forge my own path
I find my own way
I am an individual
No more shall I obey
A tyrant, an oppressor, a controller
I will not be manipulated
I will not be suppressed
You’ve stood on my neck for far too long
But I’m there to bite your heel
I will rise up and take what’s mine
My life is my own
I have cut my string
I am a new man
Of my freedom, forever will I sing
