Breaking The Cycle

You are steadily trying to down me down.
Everything I do just isn't good enough for you.
I'm trying to break the cycle and you have no fucking clue.

I scream, beg, reason,
What else is there to do?
Put up with way too much for way too long.
Can't you see, we don't even get along?

Oblivious to the pain you cause
Talking isn't going to fix it all.
I'm breaking the cycle, and yes dumb ass that means you.

Excuses and broken promises,
Heard that shit so much I could puke.
The tears don't faze me,
You successfully had me fooled.

I now know you're just an adolescent,
I'm already out of school.
Breaking the cycle to better myself.
Once again I set my heart back on the shelf.

Sick of allowing people to damage my soul.
Tired of giving other's all the control.
Want to be my own person from here on out.
Please stop asking me what I am talking about!!

My words fall on deaf ears.
Just hear we have reached our end.
I'm trying to figure out where I begin.

Your jealousy is dangerous,
A risk I can not take.
Breaking the cycle.
Removing all the hate.

Me, I choose not to self- destruct.
Being true to me and livin' honestly.
Not trying to be your shitty ass masterpiece.
Not made of clay, you can't mold me.

Where was your heart this whole fucking time?
Stuck in the past?
Convinced it wouldn't last?
Never thought this shit would happen,
That I would see past your mask?

Now you're alone, crying to your friends.
Asking them for advice to get you back in.
Never will I let a man break my spirit.
Breaking the cycle, finding peace within it.

Taking myself back to where it all began.
Ready to find me a REAL MAN.
Learning from the past to better my future.
Taking this shit one day at a time.

Praying to God,
Assured that He keeps me safe.
And only He is in charge of my fate.
I've put myself into other's hands only to be slapped in the face.

Determined to be the first to break this cycle.
Ready to step up and take my place.
If you still don't get it you never will.
From here on out, it's all uphill.

Time for change, ready to begin a new day.
I only want to break this fucking cycle.
All in my own way.
