I Keep Too Many Things to Myself

I need to learn to speak up and stand up for myself. I let people walk all over me as if I'm a piece of shit. I was raised to treat the janitor with the same respect I treat the CEO. I'm hanging on by a string and there always seems to be someone who kicks me down further. I'm tired of life and it's sad it takes a death for someone to appreciate your presence and value. People care when it's too late.
