Listen to Me

Location

      I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME.

I want you to listen:

      I can't be what you want me to be.

      I tried. I did! I changed for you.

But I want to be happy with MYSELF, too.

      And now - I WON'T. I won't change for you ANYMORE.

It took me this long to love myself.

     So you can love me - or you can leave.

But I'm happy now, and that's all I need.
