I Quit

This is gonna make a lot of people sad
And probably some happy
But I can't worry about that now
I quit

Fine...
Call me a quitter
I don't care
I just can't do this anymore
I've changed
You're not to blame
I'm just not the same person you knew before
So, not to be rude at all
But i'm done trying to live up to your expectations
And down to them
Basically I quit being bound to them
I quit following everyone's opinions of which
right for me
I quit holding myself back
Living emotionally trapped
And not being who i'd like to be
I quit being loyal to these negative thoughts
that have never been useful
I quit letting the guilt of my past get in my path
And deprive me of a beautiful future

I quit letting people, who have proven that
they don't really care about me, get to me
I quit hanging out with friends who
of most days i couldn't tell if they're friends
Or enemies draining my energy
I quit letting society's expectations and
timetables pressure me, direct my destiny and
stress me
I quit forgiving everyone else in the whole
world except me

I quit wanting the cool kids to accept me
I quit not saying what's on my mind
And in important times letting fear
come near and suppress me
I quit being so emotionally tired to the likes
and shares of people i barely know online
I quit self-doubt and self-sabotage
I quit being a screw-up and a gonna doer
I quit sleepwalking through life
instead of living my dreams
I quit waiting for ducks to line up instead of
spreading my wings
I quit not giving 100%
I quit dimming my light so that others won't
have to squint
I quit peers pressure in peoples pleasing
I quit the prison of perfection
I quit the fear of failure and the fear of success
I quit hesitation and desperation, expectations,
devastations
I quit

And know why I don't have a two weeks notice
So I accept this as my letter of resignation
I know it seems sudden
But trust me it has been a long time coming
But now my time here is up

Oh, but don't worry
I'm grateful for the experience
And i have an amazing new life lined up
I quit.
