I’m done living in your shadow,
Letting you shine at my expense,
When I should be the one glowing,
Living high on my own success.
I’ve let you take all the credit
For the triumphs in our lives
When I’ve worked more hours
And driven every achievement.
But I can’t take it anymore
Because you don’t see the harm
In letting the world believe
That everything is about you.
You’ve spent all our lives together
Gaslighting me and putting me down
But I’m seeing you for what you are
And it’s my time to throw some shade.
It is terrible that this is so common even in this day and age! Too many people like being the centre of attention and making their partners feel like they are nothing!
