Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

Being Set Free

I should not have been surprised
I have seen it before
the isolation,
making yourself a priority
then the withdrawal
the disinterest
I am not holding a grudge
I am just hopeful
that one day, 
you will realize, the self destructing path you’re on..

No talking behind your back
I’m better than that,
I wish you well,
with a thank you from me
for setting me free…

Wilma Neels June 9, 2010 at 11:57 AM Amazingly addiction wasn't what I was thinking when I wrote this piece.. Just shows how many connotations can be attached to it :)

Rachel W June 9, 2010 at 11:48 AM Looks like we both feel free today, Wilma. Good, strong write.
