Every word you ever said
Is a splinter in my head
Buried so deep, I can’t get it out
Buried so deep I will never forget
All the truths mixed with lies
Or the darkness in your eyes
Sometimes I will dig
But it just sinks deeper
I dig and dig, I scream, I shout
But there is no use, your freaking stuck
In the back of my mind you play your games
You tell me I need to be perfect
But I must play by your rules
You even gave me the tools
Bought me the books
Fed me more lies
Well you may be a splinter in my brain
But that’s all that you are
You have no power over me
You may be my burden to bear
But you have no control over my life
And one day I will pull you out
My reminder of you
I freaking swear

I felt a lot of will in this great poem to ‘reclaim one’s mind.’ And indeed, our mind is always ours; nobody else can control it if we don’t allow it.
