Take Care Of Me Poem by Ms Thang

I can no longer let you make my decisions for me.
I’ve got to know, and I’ve got to believe
That I have the power to control my life.
That have the will to put up a fight
Even when it’s not something easy.
Even when it makes my stomach quesy.
For the first time I have to step away now.
Sometime you look back and just wonder how
You got into a situation and let that stuff ride.
I can’t do that. I gotta take my own side.
I gotta make the choice that’s best for me.
I gotta do what I gotta do and be what I gotta be.
I can’t sit up here and wonder when you’ll act right.
I can’t sit up here checkin on you every night.
I’ve spent my whole life putting them before me
I never am able to just get up and leave.
Even when I’m hurt even when he’s wrong
I just can’t get through it and move on.
I understand why they do the things do
That’s why when push comes to shove – it’s you.
You have my heart, I can’t lie.
I gotta say goodbye.
Goodbye to the drama
Goodbye to the hurt..
Maybe one day you’ll see my worth.
Right now you just can’t.
I can’t even be mad.
Just gotta keep goin, doin what I do
Keep my head, despite you.
