I Can Do It Myself

The one person in my life who was supposed to be there for me showed me not to rely on 

anyone,

And don’t you dare think for one second that I need support from you to get anything done.

I am tired of you always turning everything around on me,

And you always turn a blind eye and you can never see,

Everything that I have done for you, instead you see everything that I don’t do,

I am tired of you constantly reminding me of everything that I have been through.

You’re trying to blame me, but all of the responsibility lands on you,

And whether you like it or not, you know that everything I am saying is true.

You are just like everyone else, and you let me down,

And it was just when I was starting to lift myself off the ground.

You care about your job more than you do anyone here,

And ending up being a miserable bitch like you is my ultimate fear.

You are trying to pin it on me, but as long as you are okay then everything is fine,

And just like everyone else, you are going to see me shine.

There so many miserable people in the world, and you are clearly one of them,

And I no longer care to try and understand where you are coming from.

You don’t care about me, you never gave me the benefit of the doubt,

And I am not going to try and read between the lines to figure you out.

There is no going back, now that you told me how you really feel,

And you are projecting your issues onto me because you never healed.

You keep defending people who are not worth it in the end,

But I am not letting you bring me back to that place, not ever again.

What’s funny to me is that after everything that happened, you are still asking me to help you,

But I am also used to it, because none of this is anything new.

Everyone else is always the problem, but you are never to blame,

And this is why I will not end up like you, I will not end up being the same.

Unlike you, I listen to others and care about what they say,

But all that you care about is that you are doing okay.

From this point on I am only doing it for me,

So I can finally leave and so I can finally be free.

I am not worried about protecting anyone else’s feelings anymore,

Because I know that I am the only one worth fighting for.
