Jayme Kunstman Poet Rhyme

Happy Now

How many times 
Will I have to listen
To all the stories you've told
How many lies
Will you speak aloud
Inquiring minds want to know

The choices I've made
Belong just to me
And I won't be blamed for yours
The mistakes that I've made
Needless to say
Are ones that I have endured

The pain that I feel
Cuts like a knife
When you won't listen to me
Wounds won't heal
With scars so deep
I wish that this you'd see

It's true I was given
One mother to love
And I know in my heart that I do
But as an adult
Remembering when
I have points that differ from you

So I'll walk away
From all I have known
If it means moving on with my life
But not for a minute
Will I turn to look back
I can't handle anymore strief

I'm happy now
Don't take it away
By injecting anymore pain
My life is full
And worth so much more
There's nothing left to explain
