To myself

by Thelma*/Aries - Aries

They can say, what they want to say,
  I dont care,
They cant hurt me no more.
They destroy everything. 
All my dreams, are not dreams no more.
I dont know...what did I do?
I still remember being a little girl,
and the faces that screamed I was doing something wrong.
It is not my fault...i know.
I just wish they knew too.
I can say that I dont care, and I can lie to them,
to the world.
But I can not lie to myself.
All I do in my life, is for one reason only.
To hear them say, how great I am, or how proud they are.
I have tried to convince myself that I dont care, 
But I just can not lie to myself...at least...
I cant do it no more.
So from this day on..I will not cry.
I will listen to myself, and I wont listen to the hurtful
things they say. At least I will pretend..that I dont care.

Reason for writing:

    Family of course...what else...
But at least  I can say that I have 
Loving parents who encourage me to be 
all I can be..even if the rest dont.:P
