Letting You Define Me

Synopsis: What happens when a spouse repeatedly deals with belittling, blame for the other's problems, and draconian treatment? Well, in this case, a sleeping giant is awakened.
Being taken advantage of for so long was an awkward task
In addition to experiencing you with your doctored mask
Realizing it today has made me stronger with the adversity
It's not my fault you didn't realize your blatant perversity
A Magnificent Glimpse; the thrill of a new truth brings force
Now it's different, since I chartered a new course
My real tragedy was having no sense of alternatives
You've now awakened a sleeping giant; that's affirmative
The harsh words and treatment were hard to sustain
Awareness is tranquility; that's info I'll forever retain
Ivester said, "Never let your memories be greater than your dreams"
Tell me, why should I let you control my self-esteem?
The same way Bill Gates handled Microsoft, I will Excel
Took a while, but it looks like Marckie broke through his shell
Can't hurt me now, since I understand where you're coming from
Unless I'm donating, it's me first; that's the new rule of thumb
The new course I mentioned is something you should comprehend
I'm now invested in investing; even reinvesting dividends
Let your ear get closer; do your best to listen in
Enlightenment came when other women best friended him
Your negligence plus your thoughts of my irrelevance
Was a direct and grotesque insult to my intelligence
