I Am Not Your Kechia

Docile. Passive.
Damn unhappy.
Inauthentic. Pretenses.
Deep in depression.
Maimed tongue. Broken toes.
A mind muddled and controlled.
Mental wars. Internal hells.
At odds with every part of self.
Am I changing for the worst?
Because I speak my mind?
Because I publicly curse?
Because my patience for shit is tissue thin?
Because I like girls and live in sin?
Because I question my beliefs?
Because I now fight like hell for me?
Keep your opinions and admonitions.
Keep your praise and criticism.
Hold fast to your disappointment.
I will not be your Kechia ever again.
