I tried to be who you wanted me to be.

But im done changing who I am for you.

I needed to just be me.

From now on im only going to be the real me.

You never did get what made me who I am.

You failed to see being who you wanted me to be, was slowly killing me.

Your criticism and anger took away all my spirit making my smile so fake and dim.

I was just a shadow of who I used to be.

You wanted to change everything about me.

Constantly telling me what to do and who to be.

But you chose to ignore the sadness you brought me.

If i wasn't exactly what you perceived I should be.

You became angry throwing insults at me.

You wanted to take away everything that made me happy.

Everything that made me, the real me.

I told you I couldn't live like that, it's not how a relationship should be.

So you ridiculed me and threatened to leave.

I finally reached the point where i had to say, you have to go.

You told me I would regret it.

You thought I would beg you to come back.

Thought I would plea for you to stay.

Today im happy and im back to being simply just me.

Never be afraid to just be you.

Always remember your perfect being who your supposed to be.
