You don't own that kind of power

 Leaving me was okay. People leave me all the time; I'm used to it. What hurts so much is you made me feel so damn special yesterday, and then make me feel so unwanted today.

You don't get to make me feel like I need to constantly prove myself to you. You don't get to make it feel like I am struggling in the current, being pulled under and gasping for air. You can't pop in and out whenever you want. I try to give all the attention and the help that you need. I don't think that you get it. I have never once, ever, stood in the way of what you wanted. The things that I wanted are always just out of reach for me. 

You don't have the power to hold over me and let me feel like I am supposed to stay this way. I hold the power in my hands. I can let you fall and scramble to pick up the pieces without me.
