Not Another Average Ordinary

Not Another Average Ordinary

I'm not listening to you anymore.
All you are doing is trying to manipulate me;
Trying to steal my joy,
Trying to steal the happiness I have found.
You keep trying to twist me into your boxes,
Trying to make me into just another average ordinary.
It is better that way, 
Right?
I'm more manageable that way, 
Right?
But I can't.
That's not me,
And I can't live that way;
I never could.
For you to continue trying to force me into being something I'm not; it is robbing me of my life.
But it is not like you think of it that way,
All you care about is the control,
And that is why you are trying to drag me back to where I was for so long.
But that will not be my life.
That will not be my story.
You try to entangle and entrap me,
But I will never go back willingly;
Because I now know that my life is worth living,
And what's more, I know that my life is worth fighting for.
