I used to be the person that will always be there for someone, no matter how bad or disrespectful they treated me
I used to be the person who would give in and beg for that person to not be mad at me anymore even though I did nothing wrong: just so they can be nice to me again
But growing up, I realized enough is enough
Why am I letting them disrespect me? Doing this, I was disrespecting myself.
No more.
My confidence grew like Jack's beanstalk growing and touching the sky.
No more will anybody try to walk all over me because I will no longer be a doormat. I will be the door, open for the right people and close on the wrong people.
Fighting back with people who try to take advantage and speaking my voice never felt so good.
I become angry at myself that I used to be weak,
but to become strong, I must start from somewhere.
Strong will I be for the rest of my life.
