I am trimming down the seemingly
Never ending list of people who
I have let affect me through the years
And I am deciding to be free instead
Of grasping onto straws
Of self hatred and loathing
I am releasing the hold people
Have on me and
I feel better doing so

Hopefully I will meet new
People to fill that void of loneliness
But I would rather be lonely than
Suffer with people who break me
And drag me down

This year will be different
I will mold myself into the person
I want to be
Not the girl everyone else
Thinks I should be

I will change
