Selfish.
The fact that the world
goes round & round,
doesn't mean it revolves
around you.
The fact that you
love her, doesn't
mean you can control
all she does.
The fact that she's
your daughter,
doesn't mean that
you can decide
what she's going to
do for the rest of her life.
The fact that I loved you, doesn't mean that I'm going to let myself
think about you everyday & want you back.
The fact that I needed you & you weren't there, does give me the
power to complain, because you said you would always be there.
The fact that I care more about others than myself, doesn't mean
that you can step over me & take advantage.
The fact that I am writing this about you, doesn't mean that I still love you.
It means I am strong enough to let go & realize that I deserve better than you.
