#self-assurance
I’ve always been intimidated
By the man in the mirror
With his cocky face and his self-assured grin
I’ve always been imitated
By the man in the mirror
With his worried sigh and his eyes full of doubt

How dare you?
How do you have the audacity to make me feel like I need to change
How dare you make me feel like I am in the wrong?
I am not the one that needs to change.
I am not the one who is in the wrong.
I am never going to change for the likes of you.
Instead of pretending like you're some little saint
Instead of pretending like you care about me
Instead leave me alone and let me be me.
I am not here to please you.
I am not here to listen to you ramble.
I am not here for you to use at your convenience.
You are selfish.
You are narcissistic.
You are the one who never listens to anything other than the sound of their own voice.
So no, I will not cater to you.
So no, I will not serve your every need.
So no, I will not be your back up toy in reserves.
I am strong on my own.
I am successful on my own.
I am my own person.
And there is no way that I would ever let you make me feel like less than that.
