The Day Was Nigh

When I said that a day was coming, When I would cry no more tears, Or even verbalize exactly how I was feeling; I was sure it would come to pass, Just like today, and would soon be past. I expected it not to be longer, Nevertheless, I remained patient towards it; Took in all the insults and shame and hate, To have myself preserved, for a better death. This isn't about death, It's about how I have maneuvered all this time, What I did and what I needn't do again; In my mistakes,I have earned lessons, Good and bad- And through my waiting,I have gotten the deliverance. It is going to go away but not forever, But it's not something that should keep me down, When I can live with it till the years go into history. What I can not change,I have adapted to live with- And that's how life moves on.
