Needing To Turn Another Page
Conclusion of past regrets full of rage
Last scene closing on the finale stage
Oblique entries into a malevolent cage
Secretive questions why were we engaged
Egressions of needing to turn another page
Optimism for a novel and fresh new life
Painful memories almost being your wife
Exposed lies that free me from your strife
Nourished new future free from negative rife
There it was...the door slammed shut leaving past conclusions out for garbage. I am the one who realized the authenticity of our broken alliance. I needed you. You never needed me. I was your mess you had to clean up on a daily basis. You pretend you're benevolent. I pretend I am happy. I have sorrow. I have regret..I have misery. Surprisingly, the angels sang and the iniquity of my essence awoke my internal bliss.There it was...the door slammed open leading my longing soul to fill with growth and hope.There is a certain harmony that leads the cloudy skies into peaceful insight. My aspiration and confidence have turned my anguish into the anticipation of healing. Now, my expectations have been crowding around my insecurity, releasing acceptance that my murkiness has transformed into vivacious exhilaration. I have hope. I have joy. I have gratitude.
