I don't need your validation to know my wrong from right,

Don't need your conversation all the live long day and night,

I don't need your permission to ease me on my way,

But I do need you to listen to what I have to say,

To treat me like a "Broken toy," now that was a mistake,

'Cos I wasn't your toy, and I wasn't yours to break,

Then to act as if I don't exist? Was foolish, there's no doubt,

"Inconveniently," I still persist, you can't just shut me out,

16 years of service was the measure of my, "Crime"

16 years of loyalty, of my life, of my time,

And now your, "Toy is broken, you feel you have no choice,

To treat me like I don't exist, to disregard my voice,

Well your, "Toy," may have problems but you don't seem to care,

No words of comfort spoken, no thought given to repair,

But let's be clear, the lack of care and comfort was your choice,

And your, "Toy," may be broken, but it still has a voice.
