I won't lie to myself anymore,
I won't try to ignore what they tell me,
I won't lie for you anymore,
I won't try to explain how you're feeling.

It's getting old real fast,
and pretty soon I won't be around,
when you need me,
because I just don't care.

I won't be who you want me to be,
when you want me to be,
how you want me to be,
what you want me to be.

It's getting old real fast,
the way you treat me now,
as if I'll always be around,
yeah right.

I won't let you use me like that,
you can't have me when you want me,
and only when you want me,
I'm not letting go, but I'm not holding back.

I'm telling the truth.

Someone once taught me that it doesn't matter what other people think of you as long as you like yourself. That's what I live by.

Allysa. I really really liked this. Man oh man- I can relate SO much to it, MANY times. I hate poeple like that. That only come around when they need somehting, expect you to always be there- but never are REALLY there for you. They treat you crappy UNLESS they need/want something. Good for you for standing up for yourself and not letting yourself be used like that. I'm proud of you. It's hard. Great write!

I really liked this one! I thought it rocked

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

It takes only a minute to like someone, a hour to love someone, but a lifetime to forget them.

AWESOME message, Allysa. I really liked the beginning stanza... it began very strong, and ended very strong. Nicely done! I'm impressed... you go girl!!
