For Once I'll Do Whats Right For Me

by Jo   Dec 12, 2005


Confused and hurt by your selfish lies,
Still unsure what I am in your eyes, But I know things can't go on this way,
Tonights the night I finally say:

"I could just let you be, is that what you want? No more you and me? "

Beaten to the ground by your cold attitude,
I don't understand why your being so crude,
And I Punish myself every day,
Wishing these feelings would just go away,
You brought them about,
You made me fall,
But tonights the night,
I'll finish it all
I wont beat myself up,
I'll break down this wall,
For once in my life,
I'll stand up Tall
Things just can't go on this way,
I know inside I shouldn't stay,
Tonights the night I'll find my strength,
Tonights the night I'll re-commence
Tonights the night I'll finally say:

"This isn't what I want to do,
This isn't how I want things to be,
But I won't let myself get hurt
For once I'll do whats right for me"

    Hey =) Thanks, Just make sure you do do whats right for you because in the end thats all that matters - At first it may cause a little pain to walk away but in the end it saves an awful lot more hurt when things end up the way you really knew they would. Only problem is, I did what was right and told "him" how I felt things were going - And it felt great - But now I'm falling backwards again into his grip =( I need to try break free! And now I'm going to go make a poem out of this comment as its quite inspiring =P Tah for the comment - Jo xX
