Self-Worth-Goodbye To You

No one is going to tell me who I should be. The last time I checked, the only one that's me is me.

People will try to judge and criticize my choices. But I'm an individual, so original, so I don't listen to all those other voices.

Don't try to control me, because you'll get nowhere fast. You weren't my first love, and you surely won't be my last.

My dreams, they matter, to myself at least. You should know, with each word you speak, my respect for you has only decreased.

I'm just showing you what you don't do for me. I know one day you'll leave. Clearly, with me is where you don't choose to be.

I'll be fine, even better on my own. I don't need the love that you've never even shown.

You must think you've broken me, torn me up inside. The opposite is true. I'm stronger than ever now, and my feelings for you have died. No longer do I love any part of you.

My self-esteem has grown a lot, over the years. No longer am I ashamed of my many tears. They've made me who I am, and they are a part of my heart. No more will I care if we are apart.

You've ruined my life, always in my way. Through all this strife, I've found the strength to say...all of this.

I don't need you anymore. You've never needed me. My future will have better things in store, without you. Myself, I will always be, and look at it this way: of you, I'm free. Finally!
