Leaving Things Behind
An open poem to my past
“Leaving things behind”
By Rebecca Dominique Morris
So I guess that’s it , I’m leaving and it’s a choice I can’t take back
It’s not because right here is something I lack
Instead it’s about growth and realising how far I’ve come
That will not register with some
I’ve had my hand dealt and I’ve played the cards right
It’s not a decision or choice that came light
But it is something that I need to do for me
This is about me finally being free
Too long I’ve been caught up in things that weren’t worth my time
I guess the closure I’ve had means I’m actually doing just fine
I’ve fought for years to prove who I really am
Self love taught me stop redirecting and to Start giving a damn
I’ve come a long way and I’m so proud of myself
It’s actually something I’ve worked through that has been good for my Health
I’ve Been used and abused and taken advantage of for far too long
I’m sick of singing and replaying the same old song
This chapter of my life is called my turn
It’s been brought about from all the lessons I’ve learned
And for that I’m thankful because without them I wouldn’t be where I now stand
I never needed anyone to hold my hand
I’m self made and I’m independent as can be
For my happiness can hold the key
Because I’ve found all I am and what I’m worth
I’m finally at peace and at one with the earth
Ive come along way and through the pain found strength
But what I’ve been through came at great length
So I will no longer apologise for what I leave behind
Sometimes you’ve got to be cruel to be kind
I’m about to get everything I’ve worked hard for
And now this is my time to soar !
