Everyone has felt it before
in some shape or form
some more than others
but it still hurts regardless
I refuse to bear witness to the suffering I go through daily
I refuse to be taken advantage of any longer
no one likes to be treated in such a way
no longer for this pain will I be around to stay

I've been through a lot
I learned many lessons
this is where the line is drawn
where I search my mind
and only tend to help the ones I care for
my nightly suffering will be no more

No one enjoys being thrown away
being pushed aside
feeling unwanted
feeling unloved
no more of this for me
I refuse to give in false hope

I will not be mislead
the time has come
to rise above it all
to recover from the wounds of the past
to remove the knife from my back
and to stitch up the pain inflicted to my heart

No longer offering my friendship
no longer offering my concern
why bother if they don't treat you with respect
they shall be pushed away before they can attack
I won't become someone else’s prey
I refuse in any way, shape, or form to once again become of victim
a victim of something that seems simple yet so hurtful at times
I refuse to become a victim of rejection

No more uncertainty
no more being betrayed
no more lies
I waste time no more
life goes on
I now know what I must do
