Growing up I didn't dream of Prince charming or of getting married. I didn't believe in happily ever after. My only wish was to be accepted and feel safe.
Years later I find that safety isn't enough. I won't pretend anymore. I deserve much more.
You robbed me, took all that was given and threw me scraps. I tried so long. All the rejection led to a larger hole in my heart where hope once grew.
For you to say I didn't give you enough. Did you deserve more? I supported you financially emotionally and was the only one there for you when everyone turned their backs.
You are not my child. I am not responsible for you anymore. You took all I had to give. This is your doing.
For all that know me who say that I'm a catch and for everyone who said you didn't deserve me, they were right. I shined bright and you've always been the shadow that walked by my side. I am always lighting your path and you are always dimming mine.
Go on now, follow the path you've been going. I will not be here when you get back. I am not your homing beacon. I am done. Live with your choices. The End!
