If you want me in your life, youre going to have to make me a priority.
I cant let you think treating me that way is okay.
And I deserve better than that.
KAL VISUALS
Im not going to be anyones doormat, just-in-case person, or afterthought.
And Im not going to fight, chase, or beg for space.
I deserve the best.
So Im definitely not going to be your second choice.
Ive been treated second far too many times, and Ive had enough.
I dont like the way it makes me feel.
I dont like giving to people who keep on taking and taking and giving little to nothing in return.
And I dont like being taken for granted.
Thats not right and its not fair.
Thats not going to happen.
But you know what?
Even if Im not your first choice, Ill meet someone who makes me theirs.
Theyll choose me first and will value and appreciate me.
Theyll give as much as I give.
Theyll like me for me without any ulterior motives.
Theyll keep their word and do the things they said they would do.
Theyll be kind and considerate and step up and treat me with respect.
They wont play games or take me for granted or mistake my kindness for weakness.
Theyre going to show up for me, and youll be a distant memoryjust someone I used to know.
I will not be your second choice.
Im not the kind of girl who just takes what she can get.
Im the jot down who will hold out and get exactly what I want.
I knew I shouldnt have given you another chance.
I dont know what I was thinking.
Ive met you before and all the signs were there.
I shouldve known better.
And I can find better and do better too.
I cant let people like you have or hold a space in my life.
And you definitely cant have any more of my time.
Its far too valuable to just give away.
Im not selfish or self-centered or spoiled or being unreasonable for wanting to be considered and put first.
I just know my value and my worth and cant keep short-changing myself.
Not for you or anyone else.
I refuse to live in that space and put myself in that position.
