Mistake After Mistake

You may call me stubborn
but that's your mistake
I'm not rude, I'm not callous
but I am not yours to take

You hurt me before
that was your wrong
I shut you out now
I can prove that I'm strong

Love you no longer
Only hard feelings exist
I won't take you back
though your hard to resist

Sadness and heartbreak
that's no longer true
I know what you think
But I can be everything without you

If your words are true, then you are very unique; not many girls can stay strong in the scene that this poem illustrates.
