I need

a thicker skin for you shouldn’t be getting to me not now or ever.

I know what you are trying to do and I just know that things are coming for everyone else because you are evil.

I see the smile on your face when you make others do what you should be doing just to do less.

The end game is not good for you and yet you are standing here think this is it for me and no one will stand in my way.

You push and you pull and even though you feel you are doing the right thing even though you don’t really understand all that is going on around you right now.

for the words that need to be said. 

But, my mouth just won’t open up 

so that I can tell you the truth. 

I’m tired of holding and hiding it inside anymore 

I feel like the unknown is here and I just can’t make sense of what is going on. 

I want to say something but, I just don’t want to step out of line for I need to have a back up plan incase this all goes south. 

I don’t know who or what you thought you were but, today I’m done being silent and trying to play along with you. 

Putting my foot down and just allowing myself to accept that I am not an easy target and I won’t be pushed over and ignored any longer.

You can come into my life and try to destroy everything that you think matters the most to me.

But, the truth is the light that burns inside of me would not fade even when you think you have taken it all from me and I’m about to fall.

I will jump back up and grab on to the last thing you thought wouldn’t help me and I will build everything back up and make them ten times stronger than before.

So the next time you come around with your evil smile and laugh that haunts me some nights.

I will be prepared and ready to out shine you this time for you didn’t break me you just built me up to know that I am not as fragile as I once thought I was.

I can’t with stand whatever you throw my way and I will slap away the things that try to trick me and lock out the things that want in only to destroy everything they see me look at.

remain in one’s life

some have rules and regulations.

like your following policies at one’s job

and you only get two warnings before their trust in you fades.

And you slowly go from being one of the people they rely on to someone they only text to hangout with.

You no longer get all the details of their life.

And you only see what’s going on with them from their latest Facebook post.

And then finally you don’t have any contact with them at all and you wonder.

where did you go wrong and is it too late to remain in their life.

And at this point do you even want to remain in their life, after all you had to go through.
