What I Want

I’m coming for everything they said I would never be able to get,

And I am not going to give up, just because I am not there yet.

Because I don’t want to waste my life away thinking about what could have been,

And I don’t want to stay in the situation that I am currently in.

Because I know that I have it in me to do so much better,

And I have always had it in me to be a goal getter.

I am not the type to quit just because things don’t look good at the start,

Because we all know that waiting is the hardest part.

Waiting for things to slowly get better, when you are giving it all you’ve got,

And learning that you have to keep going, even when your story is not going according to your 

plot.

Because when there is always something better when your plan doesn’t work out,

And we all know this is true, even when you are filled with sorrow and doubt.

Whether you like it or not, sometimes we have to face it all alone,

And you have to turn your feelings off and have a heart of stone.

The reason that you gave up in the best was because you let your feelings get the best of you,

And they have always been there as a reminder to remind you of everything that you have been 

through. 

And you are no longer getting sad, but from here on out you are getting even,

Because you know you are the only one that you need to believe in.

And you know that you can do this without anyone else at your side,

And this time you are facing your demons head on, and you are not going to run and hide.

Because too many people have played games and have left you down,

And they seem to knock you back over everytime you pick yourself up off of the ground.

For too long you have been letting people walk all over you because you have always been nice,

But you finally realized that keeping them in your life is not worth the sacrifice.

The price you have to pay to make all of those fake people stay,

Because if they want to play games, I can be the one to teach you how to play.

From here on out, none of these people are worth the tears that I cry,

And I will accomplish it all on my own, while I dry my own eyes.
