BUT...& That's a Really Big But

My head, heart, and soul.... That's where you've staked your claim for ownership. Not that you would ever literally claim any kind of real owning, because that would just be stupid and you're not that big of an idiot, even on your very worst day.
Who am I kidding? At different points, you've tried to tell me that I have nothing to call my own anymore because you've bought everything for me since we got married. Well, I hate to break it to you, but guess what? Remember everything we bought/did in Orlando? That money was mine. And then when we turned around and went to West Virginia the very next weekend after Orlando? That was my money again. So no matter what you wanna try and talk yourself into believing, I HAVE aid for a great many things in our seemingly brief time together.
So know this. While you are always in my head in some way; forever in my heart - being directly tied to my 2 (so far) children who are the very essence of who I am now; and eternally tied to my soul, because I think we have a love that should, can, and will last through things everyone else would swear should break us...keep this in your mind. You accepted me for who I was when you first me me, for who I am. I will ALWAYS be that girl. I absolutely WILL NOT sacrifice who I am, or change who I am for you, just because you say I should. Any change I make in myself will be completely my own decision.
If you decide that you're not down with who I am, well then you can just suck it! This is me. This is who you asked to marry you 3 years ago on that cliff-top. I've done my time trying to please you, and now it's time for you to give me the respect we both know I more than deserve from you after all the shit we've gone through together. It's my turn to take the spotlight, and for you to step away and let me SHINE. Give me what I deserve and I will not be forced to start a fire set on burning you out of my place in the winner's circle. I WILL have my time, and you WILL take your place behind me for the ENTIRE duration of it. Get your head wrapped around it, and get used to it. I'm on fire, and I won't hesitate to burn my way through any and every single thing that stands in my way to the very center of the stage.
Drivers, start your engines. This is a high stakes game, and I'm playing keeps. Play hard, or go home, boys and girls.
