I Know this room, I've walked this floor. Lyrics Excerpt from Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright

Familiarity breeds contempt
Even this familiar saying breeds contempt
Personally, I feel nothing but contempt for familiar insults
The insult of being continually underestimated
The insult of being continually underpaid
And the insult of being overlooked yet needed
I have come to realize that being needed is overated
Especially when being needed means you cannot move
And when needed means you are expected
Expected to stay yet treated badly
Expected to stay because you have no where to go
And expected to stay when it no longer makes sense
No sense in staying when there is nothing left for you
No sense in staying when you have no guarantees
No sense in staying when there is no future
The future must be the focus
The future is all that matters
The future overrides the past
And the past will not dictate my future
The past does not indicate my future
The past has no hold on me
I am, I was, I always will be, the one who is needed
And being needed is no longer enough for me
I want more.
