Sacrifices
We've made so many just to please others
Leaving parts of ourselves behind:
Pieces of our heart and soul, just to see other people happy. Ignoring what we need.
Today it stops with me.
I'm taking care of myself, and what I need
To hell with you... I'm done making sacrifices
At my own expense. Giving up what dreams I
Have.
Pleasing others came easily, until they took
advantage of my kindness and generosity.
No longer will I be walked upon...
as if I was someone's doormat to wipe their
dirty shoes upon.
Sacrifices are done, turn and walk away if you
you must...angry? Good I won't shed a tear...
see you maybe in the next life.
