Through the Layers

I think I’m strong.
Some disagree.
They say I’m just weak,
But through all the shit I’ve had to endure through the years,
I’m content.
I’m sick of being roped into others problem,
And I’m starting to learn how to simply say “no”.
It’s still a process,
And it still needs work on,
But it will be bullet proof in time.
Doing this may push some allies out of my life,
But then won’t that prove just who is truly on my side?
Who realizes that I need to away to sort out my own life before taking on 3 others.
So yes,
Call me a bitch,
Call me weak,
But those are just words that people use when they only see the top layer
