• I was always pleasing.
    Trying to be the person you wanted.
    Slowly morphing my personality.
    To your liking.

    I tried to be just like you,
    Because I knew that’s what you wanted.
    So I let myself change,
    Just to make you happy.

    It wasn’t until recently,
    That I had my realization.
    I’d become a different person.
    I didn’t even recognize myself.

    So the period started,
    That I sat alone, crying.
    Asking myself,
    How could I have been so weak?

    How did I let myself be controlled?
    Taken over,
    Molded,
    Lost?

    My sadness turned to anger.
    I will not let this go on.
    It’s time I rescued myself,
    Before I disappeared forever.

    That’s why I’m leaving you.
    I’m taking my independence,
    And leaving you with yourself.
    That’s all you ever wanted in the first place,
    Wasn’t it?
