I don’t need to feel like I’m waiting to be noticed.
I don’t need to feel like I’m different.
I’m finally in a place where I’m comfortable in my own skin
And I don’t need you there to tear it apart again.
I’ve sealed all my scars and threaded all my wounds,
And just because they’re still healing doesn’t mean you can open them back up.
It’s taken me so long to get here, and I’m not going to let you destroy all of that.
I’m moving on to bigger and better things, with or without you.
I’m sorry that you’re sad.
I’m sorry that things aren’t going your way.
But I’m not going to sacrifice my happiness for you.
You aren’t deserving of my tears.
For once in my life I’m happy.
For once in my life I’m taking care of myself.
So I’m not going to let you become another obstacle to conquer
Because I’ve already conquered you one too many times.
I’m growing up
And I’m moving on.
And I’m sorry if that’s hard for you to understand,
But I no longer need you,
Because I'm enough for me.
