Goodbye
Sometimes life is a challenge.
But I refuse to seek revenge.
No matter how hard and dark things may seem.
Its time to redeem, to be reborn again and awaken that dream.
All the chaos and strife, rejected, arguments alienated, perfected.
My battles are not of this world.
There is no grudge left to hold.
Maybe it was all a dream.
I want to be alone, for a moment, to just let it all out and scream.
Taking care of a house, cooking and cleaning, left without remorse.
This is not my first course.
As I try to wake up and seek the truth.
Mistakes recollected from my youth.
I don't think I am who I want to be.
Life is a gift, a journey, you see---
My joy depends only on me.
In solitude, I will find peace of mind.
Only for a moment, as I forget all I have left behind.
Trying to regain strength and unwind.
No one deserves to be unhappy and pretend to live a perfect life.
Such a thing does not exist.
Loneliness is hard to resist.
As I fight to carry on and surpass this betrayal.
Indeed no counselor, just prayer.
Reminded of what is at stake.
Returning here, will be my last mistake.
Grateful if I wake up tomorrow,
Regretting wasted hours in isolated sorrow.
