I want to please everyone

Sometimes that’s just not the way things go

If I can’t please them I run

I avoid them and try to lay low

I never want anyone to be less than happy because of me

I only want them to be happy

That’s just who I want to be

I want to be someone who lifts people up instead of tearing people down, okay I know that sounds sappy

But my friends and my family constantly point this out

My parents say I’m a push over

In terms of standing up for myself, I see a drought

My parents say I need to stick up for myself but I would just rather nod and give happiness to another

I can’t say no and I put others needs before me

But this I must keep in mind

When will myself come first?

When will I give up on people pleasing?

I take a new resolve

Sometimes I am the most important one

I matter and I am my own person

I am me and I am not a pushover

I am allowed to say no and set my own boundaries

And I am allowed to be upset with you when you cross them

I give up on people pleasing.
