Self Worth

Nothing I do will change things no matter how hard I try 
Sometimes the only option you’ve left me is to say goodbye 
Sometimes no matter what I do it will never be enough 
Letting go seems harder but holding onto hope is tough 
No matter how much I prove I’m worthy of the love you say you feel 
The reality of it all is becoming more real 
Sometimes you’ve got to accept what’s love got to do with it 
Something quite ironic now don’t you think  about your  sense of wit 
Sometimes you’ve just got to be done and value your self worth more 
As trying to stay in this is beginning to hurt more I’m sure 
No matter what I do to  show you it will never be enough 
Testing you and asking questions to see if I can call your bluff 
But once you’d  taken your stance 
The reality was I never stood a chance 
I’m not the type of women’s to hang onto the little bits you give 
Life wasn’t made to be miserable it was made to live 
When you gave me a million reasons to leave I always chose to stay 
But now you’ve left me with  no other  way 
As each choice is painful no matter the path I take
But pride and self worth on one journey compensate 
So that’s it I’m done and I’m worth so much more 
It’s time to walk out that door 
And as one door closes they say another one is ready to be open 
I refuse to settle for less and I’ll forever  remain outspoken 
Because I won’t change who I am or what I know I’m worth 
Even though I was willing to move heaven and earth 
I won’t settle for less 
If I’m not seen and appreciated or important  at your own address 
Nor will I allow space to create confusion from your words which lead me to second guess
What I will do is pack up and  move out 
Rather than sit in doubt 
If you can’t step up then please baby it’s now time  to step out 
Because in all of this  I was the one who was consistent ,loyal and honest throughout 
So if that’s what your willing to refuse 
Then it will be you who will lose
As what I give you’ll search for in others But you’ll never find 
Because baby boy I’m definitely one of a kind 
So if you want to let me  walk away go ahead and I’ll  leave 
But when you look for me there will be no reprieve
Don’t come back when you realise what your missing 
After you’ve been so   dismissing 
As I can promise  I won’t be there to be found 
 After all What goes around comes around 
And I wasn’t born to play games and be apart of  this  playground
If loving me from a distance Is what you need to do
Then I’m sorry for your loss but that’s all on you
