for the steps I take, you do not agree,
the decision I make, you strongly disagree,
for the path I created, you wish me not to follow.
you wish for me to follow your path,
you wish for me to ask for permission,
you wish for me to listen to your choice.
my help is not enough for you,
my respect is never the right amount,
my love is demolished by the wants you have,
my support is not the amount you precieve or wish me to provide to you.
your wants are stronger than the love I expected to see from you,
your wants are more than I can give,
you want my time to be the sitter for your every want throughout the day,
your wants are more important than the choices I try to make for my own being.
you say I need to become my own person,
I cannot proceed to do so if you keep trying to make me into your person.
you say I need to make my own path,
but continue to try and force me down the one you constructed for me.
but as soon as I make my own choices, and follow my path,
you take it into yourself to leave down the path you created, knowing I would not follow, knowing I would destroy it as soon as you walk forward through the darkened path you made for me,
you vanish each time I try to build myself into my own person.
but I will not break and crawl down your path this time,
I chose my path,
you can walk amongst your own, leave me to my path,
goodbye for now, hope your journey is beautiful.
hopefully you'll open your eyes and see the person I want to be and choose to be, and accept the woman I've become.
