Giving Up on People

 

There comes a time, 

when you have had enough. 

Enough of the lies,

Enough of the opinions,

Enough of the judgements,

Enough of the hurt,

Enough of the pain. 

There comes a time, 

when you have to give up.

Give up on them caring,

Give up on them understanding,

Give up on them loving,

Give up on them wanting you,

Give up on them being there.

There comes a time 

when you realize - You don't matter.

You don't matter when you hurt,

You don't matter when your sad,

You don't matter even though you care,

You don't matter if your here or gone,

You don't matter enough for them to be there.

There comes a time, 

when you realize it doesn't count.

It doesn't count that you were always there,

It doesn't count that you sacrificed everything,

It doesn't count that you always put them first,

It doesn't count that you love them,

It doesn't count that you did your best. 

There comes a time, 

when you have to let go.

Let go of the pain,

Let go of the anger,

Let go of the hurt,

Let go of the caring,

Let go of the people.

There comes a time, 

when you realize you can only do your best.

Do your best to love,

Do your best to provide,

Do your best to care,

Do your best to be there, 

Do your best to be your best.

There comes a time, you realize 

your best wasn't good enough.

Doing what's right wasn't good enough,

Always forgiving wasn't good enough,

Giving chance after chance wasn't good enough,

Sacrificing yourself wasn't good enough. 

Not everyone in life will appreciate you,

Not everyone will care about you,

Not everyone will understand you, 

Not everyone will love you,

Not everyone wants you. 

Give up on people being your happiness. 

Give up on people loving you as much as you love them.

Give up on people being there when you need lifted up.

Give up on people being your reason to live.

Give up on people understanding you. 

Life can be a cold dark place, loveless, misunderstood, stepped on, walked over.

You can't count on other people to be your happiness,

You have to count on you, 

to do your best, 

be your best and 

Give it your all. 

Give up on people being what you need.

You need to believe in YOU.
