Stranger : respect

Do not tell me I make you feel like a stranger

When you fail to respect my needs

Do not attack my boundaries

And misjudge my motives

While tearing apart my heart

Do not dare to tell me how I feel about you

Really you do not have a clue

And everything you say only leads me to doubt

If you cannot respect my feelings and wishes

Do not try to be a part ofmy life

I gave you my heart

And God knows how I tried and tried and tried

To help you

While each and every time

I was hurt

There are days I am so tired

Of trying to prove my love to you

You know what

I think is really true?

I am actually beginning to believe

You do not really love

You

I am beginning to

Love myself

Trust myself

Know myself

And I will no longer be led astray

There is a home inside of me

There is a love inside of me

There is a foundation inside of me now

I do not need you

I am sorry

And one other thing

I do not belong to you

I belong to life
