The Parts I Play In Other's Story

I stopped asking people to stay in life,

If someone wants to leave, I let them go.

Just like seasons that comes and goes,

So do people in life, I do not hold.

If forgetting me gives them peace,

I let them go with a calm heart.

If staying away helps them heal,

There is no need for a blame game.

Unfollow, Unfriend , mute or block me,

That is up to them; I won’t feel bad.

Life has taught me many things,

No one stays with us forever.

I know what it is to be misunderstood,

To have my words twisted and turned.

When someone sees me as the villain,

I accept the role, as it's their story, not mine.

I am still learning and growing,

As I don't always get things right.

I make mistakes, sometimes my mind can go dark,

Bu I wont lose myself for someone to accept.

People can place me anywhere in their story,

Some may forget and some might remember.

What hurts is not rejection,

But losing myself trying to be what others expect.

So now, I stay low, but also I grow,

I am not afraid to set boundaries.

I know I may not be everyone's favorite,

And that's okay, as it’s not my story to write.
