When I break down, <br />It's not about you. <br />You need to learn that the me in me, <br />Has nothing to do with the you in you. <br /> <br />When I get angry enough to shout, <br />It's not about you. <br />You can't have it both ways, <br />Either I'm too much me or I'm too much you <br /> <br />If you could take a breath and stop talking, <br />maybe you'd hear what I'm not saying. <br />When I'm suffering and in pain, <br />It's not about you. <br /> <br />When I’m making stupid decisions <br />Let me, it’s not about you <br />This is my life not yours <br />So IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU<br /><br />Candy Simpson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/not-about-you/
