We are all characters in someone else’s story

Messed with for an unknown audience’s entertainment

The ups and downs of our lives just the twists and turns of their plot

Our heartstrings pulled as they ship and unship our pairings

Our limits tested as we win one day, lose the next at their whim

Our emotions rubbed raw as loved ones are killed off

Well, screw them and the strings that they pull—

Screw this path that they have put us on

Screw their cookie-cutter plots

Screw their character arcs

Screw the writer of the universe

I want to be the author of my destiny

I want to develop my own character

I want control of my own life

I will pen my own plot

For an audience of one
