Accomplishment

You are my strongest weakness
For years I never knew
I stayed inside this marriage
And ignored the hell you put me through

Living years with many struggles
Facing them alone
Working all day and into the night
And waking up alone

When I tried to talk about my day
It was so boring to you
You really never cared
About the struggles I went through

Anytime I was feeling failure
You put up a wall
Instead of lifting me higher
You just let my spirits fall

As I built a business
Fighting to stay alive
Trying to survive the competition
And never fall to compromise

Trying to be successful
Starting from nothing but my ambition
Wanting to build a fortress
And never abandoning the mission

You never supported me
You never sympathized
There were days I needed you
And you were not standing by my side

As I dealt with many emotions
There were days I wanted to give up
I woke up in the mornings
And barely could get up

The stress and the anxiety
Surely was taking over me
There were times I needed you
Just to help me to believe

To believe that I was worthy
of accomplishing my goals
Teamwork and togetherness
Would have eased my role

But you made me fight my battles
And I did it all alone
Despite the days I needed you
You just stayed at home

You never boosted me up
For you were too busy beating me down
And the more that I needed you
The less you were around

So I did it on my own
I finally found my way
A feeling of fulfillment
And I look forward to each new day

I never really needed you
I did it by myself
And it no longer bothers me
That you put me on the shelf

It is time for my new goal
And reaching it will be a dream come true
It is the day I jump right out of bed
And say goodbye to you
