THE 13 PARTS OF ME


THE 13 PARTS OF ME

I'm sick of shrinking beneath your pressure.
I'm tired of looking in the mirror and seeing something
     that I'm not.
I refuse to keep playing this game I can't win.
I will make myself stronger from your weakness.
I will not let myself get lost in regret.
I won't get trapped by the ones that love me most.
I will break through all bonds and fly away.
I won't let you take the things that give me inner peace.
I'll kill myself before you can take away my independence.
I promise to quit crying my chocolate-covered teardrops.
I know I can't please all of you, so I'll stop trying.
I will make you change your outlook on me.
I will stop putting myself through my own personal hell.
