I Quit

I quit letting them define me,

I quit trying to please them,

I quit living for other people's dreams,

I quit making excuses,

I quit putting off my own hopes,

I quit blaming others for my mistakes,

I quit living for other's expectations of happiness,

I quit!

I quit!

I quit!

I quit being something I am not,

From today on, I become me.

My life,

My dreams,

My hopes,

My mistakes,

My lessons.

I quit being someone else's ideal,

Because today, I become my own.
