All they see is bad things in me,
every word they speak,
is thrown at me,
the words hit me hard in the worst of ways,
the stinging pain leaves me black and blue,
the bruises eternally scar me,
no one can see it through my fake smile,
I hurt inside,
I feel unaccepted,
like I've let down anyone and everyone,
I try to tell myself it's all lies,
I want to be successful,
I want to make everyone happy,
but I value my individuality,
I value my freedom,
if the fee is as high as losing the things that matter most,
I don't believe it's worth the cost,
I refuse to be someone I am not,
I am no one else but me,
if they cannot accept the way I am,
if they cannot find a way to love me anyways,
then I have no other option than to move on,
I cannot and will not waste my life,
trying to make others happy,
all the while forgetting about myself,
I am my uttmost best friend,
no one knows me better than me,
no one can tell me anything differently,
than what I already know,
I am just fine the way I am.
