So far and no further

I have finally hit that wall where I can not and will not take anymore.

I am tired of people who take me for granted.
I am tired of people who take me being there for granted.
I am tired of people who take the fact that I care about my friends and throw it in my face or use it to their advantage.
I am tired of people who can't accept that I do care & that it comes with being part of my life.
I am tired of people who think I'll be there at their beck and call but are never there for me.
I am tired of people who take advantage of the fact that I do care, regardless of what it's about.
I am tired of people who only know me when they need or want something.
I am tired of people who think that if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have a life.
I am tired of people who believe that I'm any less than they are.
I am tired of people who treat me like I'm less than they are.
I am tired of people who think my world revolves around them.
I am tired of people who think my world should revolve around them.
I am tired of people who think I'm stupid enough to believe that they care.
I am tired of having to prove myself over and over and over.
I am tired of the double standard people employ when they talk to me, like they are any better than I am
I am tired of being judged by what I look like instead of who I am and what I can do.
I am tired of having to justify myself and what I stand for to others.
I am tired of having to justify my choice of friends to people who can't accept me or my friends.
I am tired of trying to be what other people expect me to be.
I am tired of trying to live up to other peoples expectations of who and what I should be.
I am tired of people who can not or will not accept me for who I am.
I am tired of people who think it's fun to break me and watch me try to rebuild myself only to break me again.

And here comes the shocker

I am tired of caring, I'm tired of giving a damn, all any of it's ever gotten me is abused, used and hurt.

I've well and truly had enough and have decided that now is as good a time as any to take a break from everyone and everything. So thats what I'm going to do, I'm not sure when I'll be back I'm not even sure if I will be back, maybe I'll just go back into my dark corner, it may be lonely and sad but at least then I know it's safe and I'll come out in one piece.
