I'm Selfish
For the first time in my life, I am not worrying about anyone else,
Because I have taken care of everyone else for so long, and put my own priorities up on a shelf.
I am no longer going to put others ahead of me anymore,
Because I finally realized that I am the only one that I should be fighting for.
You letting me down was the last time anyone will do that to me again,
Because from here on out, I am going to fight, and I am not going to stop until I reach the end.
People like you like to be fake and pretend that you care,
And you walking out of my life was actually answering all of my prayers.
I do not need people like you in my life,
Because the whole time I thought you were kind, but you were actually the one holding the
knife.
Just like everyone else, you have let me down,
But the only difference is that this time I am not staying on the ground.
People like you would love me to give you that satisfaction,
But for the first time in my life, I am bouncing back, and I am going to take action.
Instead of getting upset, I am just going to add you to my list of names,
And when it backfires on you, you will only have yourself to blame.
I know you think you broke me, but you could not be more wrong,
And I am finally going to show what I have had inside of me all along.
The power to bounce back from anything that I have been through,
And to show that I will always be alright, no matter what you try to do.
For the rest of this year, I am reminding myself that this is my time,
And I am coming for everything that I know is meant to be mine.
You could have been a part of this, but now you just have to sit back and watch me win,
And I am never going to go back to the way that things had been.
When I get to where I want to be, you are not welcome to be apart of this,
Because you had your chance, but you decided to take a swing and miss.
I need to reintroduce myself, because you are not going to recognize me,
And I am never going to go back to the way that thing used to be.
This is my time to go after everything that they said I would never be able to get,
And I know it is going to happen, even if I am not there yet.
