I'Ll Be Fine

Just so you know, I’ll be fine. I don’t need the extra time. For what? To get over you? It’s already done. The day you walked out was the day that I won. My life began with the slamming of the door. But then you took it back, you always want more. But I won’t let you in. No, never again. Boys will be boys, but some boys become men. You promise that you’ll change, but I know it’s all pretend. You blame me for everything, but you did this to yourself. I told you I was leaving, but you refused to get help. I gave my everything for years, but got nothing in return. But it will never happen again, you live and you learn. I’m happy with my decision, I finally feel free. I didn’t notice until you left that you’ve been suffocating me. Now for the first time in years, I can finally breathe. So please, stop begging. Nothing you do can change my mind. It’s done. It’s final. I’m not coming back this time.

When you're up to your knees in it; a few backward steps will clear the road ahead.
