Wasted Waters

I gently rise and harshly fall I want to say I am done! I have had it. But I can not I won't allow me My spirit won't allow me I am still treading on, crunching forward, slapping past This courage be? Will? It hasn't been easy, for such that feels too much and anger banks One who doubts and sometimes responsible feels Even though not a hand I had in the deal I try to be everything for everyone, do they even see? I worry about their worries, do they even know? Understanding to the one who does everything Tries everything. The best for the one who repeatedly reminds me of my womanhood And therefore such house responsibilities fall. Including to the one who takes and takes from us. A shield to the ones who have to grow up and easy it has not been And hardships they have found Strong to the one who is strong, the one who pulls through no matter what Who will not be defeated by life. I say goodbye to you My see-through marking prips I have never liked you but could not be helped for one who feels so I say goodbye to you troubles who twist and turn me I say goodbye to wishes long time past Goodbye It is time to stand anew, renewed Here comes the new journey and shoes must be worn It is time for me. The me that I want to be The me that is!
