For You
Everyday I think about them and not me.
When I get dressed, I think who's going to comment and how?
Will they like the clothes I'm wearing or will they criticize them?
When I do my hair, I think about what they will say?
Do they want it curled or straightened?
Will they like it all up, all down, or half and half?
Every decision I make it decided by what's best for them.
Everything that I do is for them.
It always has been.
Someday it has to change.
One day I will get up and think what do I want to do today?
What would I like to wear today?
How would I like to wear my hair?
Do I like this?
Do I dislike that?
How does this make me feel?
Will I enjoy this or will I regret it?
In the future I won't be a doormat.
You will not walk all over me.
I will live for me, not you.
I will still care.
But I will not let you decide how I live my life.
Once I make a decision for myself you will continue to love me,
Or begin to hate me.
No matter what I will always love myself.
You cannot take that from me.
You are not who I should be living for.
I need to 100,000 percent me.
Not 2 percent.
If I continue to live for those who won't live for me.
My life will end in a whirl wind.
I will never find joy.
I will regret every step I've take.
Until the day I find my true self.
I will live for you.
Just know that your time is limited.
The experation date is coming soon.
