I Choose Me

I Choose Me 

I choose me; I am no longer putting everyone before myself and what I need. 

I choose me; I am no longer going to allow myself to be used or settled for. 

I choose me; it is time for me to put my own needs first; I am done letting others cut me and watch me bleed. 

I choose me; I am no settling for half assed or one-sided love so if that is all you have to offer; there’s the door! 

 

I choose e; I have done a lot for others, and I will still help when I can, but I am doing for me now. 

I choose me; which means finding someone that matches my effort, someone looking to stick around for the long haul. 

I choose me; I pick happiness and peace, and I will achieve that somehow. 

I choose me; I am done putting myself last, I am over being nothing more than a booty call! 

 

I choose me; there will be no more staying once I am made to feel like I am not important or that my feelings do not matter. 

I choose me; far too long, I have swallowed my pride and kept my mouth shut. 

I choose me; I am not taking any more shit or ignoring my pain; I am tired of being treated like a mad hatter. 

I choose me; I am becoming selfish when it comes to my needs, especially in love, no more ignoring my gut. 

 

I choose me; I choose to love and be loved; I need a partner in life not just in bed. 

I choose me; coming first seemed foreign to me, but I no longer see it that way. 

I choose me; no matter how much I love someone, I am no longer staying if doing so makes more of a mess in my heart and my head. 

I choose me; I will always be here to listen and help where I can, but I need to be with someone who wants to stay! 

 

I choose me; my needs and my mental health are taking center stage from now on. 

I choose me; no more crying, wondering what is wrong with me, why I am so unlovable.  

I choose me; I am done being worried about speaking my mind, if that is too much for some, I guess they will be gone. 

I choose me; I am over putting other people’s happiness and feelings above my own; especially those who don’t love me but find me doable. 

 

I choose me; my happiness, my feelings, my needs; making myself the priority. 

I choose me; I love myself too much to keep being put last and used. 

I choose me; focusing on my life and my future, from now on, I am no longer afraid to say no with authority. 

I choose me; I am no longer a door mat, a rehabilitation center or a fuck buddy; I am over being abused! 

 

From now on I put myself first; I choose me!!
