Realising I Deserve More

Before, I used to be scared,
Scared of what would annoy you next.

Before, I used to think,
This was how I deserved to be treated.

Before, I believed everything you said,
When deep down you never cared for me.

Before, I used to think,
That every other girl was better than me.

Before, I thought everything was my fault,
But you put me down to make up for your own shortcomings.

Now, I know I deserve better than this.
I deserve to be treated with respect.

Now, I won’t let you stop me from,
Becoming who I want to be.

Now, I barely give you a thought,
When before I thought about you all the time.

Now, you no longer mean anything to me.
I don’t want you in my life.

Now, I feel more like me again.
I am free
