In the depths of my soul, a realization dawns,
That I no longer need to explain or beg, in mourns.
For I have been disrespected, time and again,
By those I hold dear, causing me endless pain.
I used to ask, seeking understanding and care,
But met with indifference, they left me in despair.
My voice, once vibrant, now silenced by their disdain,
As if my thoughts and feelings were burdensome and inane.
But no more shall I linger in this cycle of strife,
For I am worthy of respect, love, and a vibrant life.
I'll no longer overexplain or plead for their attention,
As I reclaim my worth and find self-redemption.
I release the need to justify my every thought,
To prove my existence, to be constantly sought.
For those who truly cherish me will always see,
That my presence is a gift, not a disturbance to be.
— % &I'll embrace my voice, my desires, my dreams,
With confidence, knowing my worth truly gleams.
No longer will I shrink, feeling small and weak,
For I am resilient, strong, and beautifully unique.
In the face of disrespect, I'll choose to rise,
With dignity and grace, I'll sever those ties.
I deserve relationships that uplift and inspire,
Where my heart's desires are cherished, never expire.
So, let me bid farewell to those who don't see,
The beauty and worth that reside within me.
I'll no longer ask or overexplain in vain,
For I am deserving of love that's genuine and sane.— % &
