Don’t try

So hard because I won’t thank you for the help I didn’t ask for.

You keep crossing lines like you’re trying to prove something to someone.

And I don’t care anymore because I’m here for me, and I know the fight isn’t worth it, so if I hurt you, I don’t believe that it’s my fault I didn’t tell you to step on my toes, and try to show off in a place you’re not supposed to be in the first place.

So no guilt is flowing through me, and as I close the door and go to my happy place, I know you will do it again, for there is clearly no respecting my boundaries now.
