Don'T Even Think Twice

Trying to please, 
has been my life,
until lately,
it doesn't feel so right.
I want to be me,
and have the freedom to,
do whatever, 
I have a mind to do.
Call me selfish,
or whatever you please,
you have taken me for granted,
and burned my kindness,
to the third degree.
Maybe my age,
or maybe my miles,
have given me,
a brand new style.
Once a dear friend,
gave me this good advice,
run like hell girl,
and don't even think twice.

It comes down to the fact that we must all learn to be ourselves and watch out for ourselves as well, so yeah, don't ever think twice, you owe that to yourself. Christy, a well expressed write. Many blessings to you. Michael
