From Gaslighting To Freedom


(A lone voice sings)



Did you know I was

Going to really truly leave



Just another of life's seemingly 

Many lost souls



Full of indecisions

And strange decisions



But 

When constantly pushed



Full of new wisdom 

And newer transitions



Oh 

How I bet you wished

You hadn't pushed all

Those buttons



Told me strange stories 

And convincing lies



Said it's your imagination 

You're seeing things 

That aren't there



To help me make

Those seemingly unconquerable 

Decisions 



To finally find

The real strength to 

See-through the mists



Maybe now that I'm free

I can grow and bloom

 


Those old chains are now 

Truly broken 



And I'm no longer living 

In your own

Medieval

Inquisition 



I’m now free from your

Gaslighting



No longer unhappy

Or constantly fighting



No longer delusional



But walking with happiness and peace



Reunited



My futures bright

For I’ve seen the light



You’re now never welcome



For

With this song

I cast you out

Inspired by the endless number of sad shows I've viewed on Netflix, as I recovered. Salute.
