My Own Enlightening
My happiness no longer depends
On anybody else but just me,
But I promise my love never ends,
I just want you to know I now feel free.
My misery is no longer blamed
On anybody really, just myself,
Because I realize only I feel ashamed
Of leaving my heart dusty on a shelf.
My joy is no longer derived
From anybody, but me, myself, and I.
No longer want what is contrived,
For our love is my new reason why:
?My happiness is now of my own making,
Because this love is mine for the taking,
And your heart will soon be learning
Just how I reached my own enlightening.
