I'm Now Realizing

You know
I feel bad sometimes.
Because I don't want to be around you.
And for some reason
That makes me an awful person.
You've told since I was little
That I'm annoying.
Obnoxious.
A hypochondriac.
Over reactant.
I'm sorry
If I no longer want to hear that.
If I now realize
How toxic
That truly is.
How poisonous.
How hurtful.
But the truth is
I've realized what I need.
And you're hurtful words
Are not it.
As soon I can
I will leave.
But until then
Don't expect me
To continue to act like this is okay.
Because it isn't.
And that realization.
Is saving me.
