There Is Only One Me

I've been lied to, cheated on and destroyed
I've been told i'm not:
A good mother, 
 A worse friend,
And even a poor excuse for a wife
I'm 44 years old
I've lived this long to prove
To people that i am better beyond
Their expectations
I am who i am
You can't change me
So don't try
My thoughts are positive
My goals are real
My needs and wants defined
So if you call yourself my friend,
My relation
You have nothing to worry about,
But those who
Want to down me, drain my spirit
WATCH OUT-
There is only one of me
And i am free
Free from your hold!
