-Why???? Why is what I keep askin' myself when it comes to you. If it's not this, it's something else. I mean I'm happy, but there are some things that you aren't measuring up in.
I don't know what to do. Maybe I need to do some searching for me on the inside. I mean, 'cause you always think you know something about yourself, until yet another mirror is held up in front of your face and then, like me, you don't like what the hell you see.
There's this saying that goes something like, "Whoever angers you, controls you," or something like that. But what more can I do. I have given you everything, every part of me. I haven't denied you ANYTHING. So I have no choice, BUT to get mad when you do something to piss me off.
What I hate the most is that I can be talking to you and you act like you don't give a shit about what the hell I'm talkin' about, but then let it be somebody else and you got all ears and conversation ready. I'm tired of complainin' about the shit. I don't give a damn anymore. I am choosing this day to not let it get under my skin anymore. It's gon' be a hard process, but I am dog-determined to force myself to not let it get to me. But the more I think about it, I shouldn't have to do such a thing. But for so long, that's how it's been. The relations between me and you versus you and them. I hold you in such high regard, that you don't have to worry about the kind of shit I constantly complain about. Talking about it seemed like a fair way to settle things, but you grow tired of having "talks" about the same shit. I just hope we can get past this. I really am gon' try to do me. It's not that I don't feel the same, but I just gotta be me. Hell, I'm too young for this crap. I'm in school and I should not be stressin about NOTHING. Maybe, just maybe I should give you a dose of your own medicine....NAH...I would definitely seem immature and childish to play the game of, "you did it to me, so I'm gonna do it to you." That ain't gon' do nothin, but piss me off in the long run, knowin that I had to act foolish just to make my point to you and for you to GET IT! I'm not holdin' myself back anymore. Yea, you might think I'm trippin' but in reality, I'm doing this for me. For MY sanity. For MY happiness.
There's not a more important lesson to be learned, than to have learned that you can't depend on NOONE solely for your happiness except for yourself and God.
You see, for so long, I had relied on you to be my happiness because of all the SHIT I used to go through and you always seemed to be there, being my rider on a white horse. You see, I replaced the Ultimate Rider for you, and that was dumb. But I'm so stubborn. I always gotta learn things the hard way. I guess that is where I am at this point. Before I go any further, I have to stop and tend to myself. I have tended to you for so long, that I have forgotten what it feels like to just live for myself and my own happiness. I've catered to you for so long. Of course, you haven't really lost much from yourself, 'cause I really don't feel as if you have been invested as much as I have. You've managed to fool me into being all about you, while you have appeared to be about me and did other FUCKED UP SHIT thinking that I would never find out.
Now, I have to do all this damn "damage repair" to myself that it seems like a never-ending, tedious task. But it's all worth it. I GOTTA do me. I can't be like this no longer. I'm sorry if it seems like I ain't bein' myself, but I have TO DO ME. At all times. You living young and carefree, with a sense of me. So I'm gon' be me and do me and live young and carefree, with a sense of you.
Now, I don't want to badger you, and act like you ain't done nothing for me. You have done a lot for me and treated me well, better than I believed you would. But at the same time, it pains me because you have pained me so much. But I don't know....I just want to break free from all this. But I just don't know how.....
The pains of love....Love hurts. But is it supposed to? You tell me.
