For far too long now, I have been letting people get in my head and try and bring me down,

But I am finally at the point where I am taking back control, and I am turning it all around.

For far too long, I have allowed people to control the way that I feel,

And they were upset that I was the only one who was keeping it real.

I have realized that I am worrying about the people who I really shouldn't care about,

And I realized that this is what they wanted all along, and that they wanted to get in my head and cause me to doubt.

I am no longer going to question my worth and let other people play games with my head,

Due to the things that they do or the words that they said. 

I know that people try to bring you down when they are jealous and insecure,

And that miserable people try to bring you down when your heart is pure.

I am no longer going to downgrade myself in order to help others feel better about who they are,

Because I have overcome so much and I have come way too far.

When you have your head on straight and you have a lot going for you, it may intimidate some,

But these people do not know the real you, and they have no idea where you have had to overcome.

I know that there are some peopl who don't want you to be able to bounce back,

But this is only because you shine through with the skills that they continue to lack.

In many ways, I feel like there are some people who will hate you because they don't want you to succeed,

Because instead or trying to do better, they just try to compete with you, but they don't realize that they will never be able to get up to your speed.

Regardless of how good of a person you are, haters will never want to see others shine,

But no matter what, the truth will always come out when it is time.

Until then, keep working and keep your head held high,

And no matter what, never let them see you sweat, and never let them make you cry.

Deep down inside, everyone knows the truth, and eventually it will come out,

And I can say with cretinaty, and without a shadow of a doubt.

I am taking everything in the past with a grain of salt and moving on,

Because the old me is in the past, and she is long gone.

The girl that had a big heart and let people walk all over her is no longer here,

And she is coming for everything that they said and I couldn't have, and I am going in without any fear.

I have so many ideas and plans that I am wokring for,

And I am going to be the one who is going to settle the score.

I am not going to beat myself up about it, because I know that I didn't do anything wrong,

Because I don't back down, and I have been putting up with this for far too long.

I can't think of one person who doesn't like me that atually has a vaild reason,

Because people come and go just like the changing of the seasons.

If you hate me now, in a few months you definitely will,

Because I am going to achieve all of my goals and continue to grow, while you just continue to sit still.
