My Life

This post is brought to you by a song!  I’ve heard this one plenty of times, but this week was the first time I truly listened to the words.  Yup, it got me emotional.

When you’re going through tough times, you make a connection to the music.

My Life
by
12 Stones

I find myself in question again
And I doubt this Love you've given to me
I hope you understand when I say
I need this time to myself

You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life

I know your open arms too well
Cause I’ve lost myself there many times before
I need to slowly fall away
Far from the grip you have on me

I find these words were never true
I've lost all my respect for you

That’s definitely what I need - Time to myself.  The amount of hostility has been ridiculous and I don’t want any part of it anymore.  People’s true colors are shining through!  There was always hope that things would change, but there were moments where I kept my distance because I knew better.  Everything that was said has been untrue and I respect myself too much to allow this negativity to continue.  There was a grip on me, but I made a decision to eliminate the poison.  As much as it hurt, it needed to be done.
