Exhausted

I'm tired of crying, I'm tired of burning
Tired of this illuisionist way of learning
Tired of struggling & tired of churning
I'm tired of being & doing what everyone says
I'm tired of all the games people play
I'm tired of being the last one taken care of
I'm tired of not being shown everyone else's love
I wanna be alone by myself - & free for me
'Cause I can do it 4 them, but nobody sets me free
I know what I want & I know how to get it
All I gotta do is crack the mothering whip
To ultimately show everyone I'm done with the 
I'm liking the look of being on my own
So I can rely on myself to make a house a home
I wanna make my life how I want to
I don't need you, you, or you, & you
While everyone's first - I'm always last
In my life - I need to take out the ing trash
If I can see my worth & nobody else does
Then nobody else is worthy of my love
If everyone else can't handle the concept of me
Secluded in my witchy treehouse is where I'll be
Rollercoaster days & rollercoaster nights
I fight for everyone else - but for me nobody fights
Do you see me? What you see is what you get
Once you've tasted me - you'll never forget it
The sheer disrespect I've currently endured today
No more chances & there's no more fixin' it anyway
