You can refuse
By: Erin
I am tempted to believe
I need to prove something to you
It’s like you see weakness in me
Where I know there is strength to be
I’ll admit I wish you saw me for who I am
The person I have always been
The person I love and I am proud of within
But
It became apparent that you do not
See me beyond your own brain and thought
Which is hard because I want to prove to you, whom I care about
That I am finally learning, morphing, adjusting throughout
It is true convincing you is a waste of time and day
And it probably would not work anyway
Plus
Ultimately I should have not to prove to anyone who is inside me
Because I am fine to be me – and me is who you see
You might not see my progress with your eyes
So you question my judgment even when I try
So, I will not fight the fact that you see someone weak in my face
Because ultimately your thoughts about me don’t matter in the first place
I am stronger today than ever prior day
And if you don’t see that – it is okay
At that point I must wonder what is the issue with you
It’s something you might want to attend to
