The Way Things Were
If I had stayed another day what kind of things would
you say, would it be a maybe or let's call it a day.
Back Then it was hard to know which way
I should go, as my heart over-flows with
pain that hurts me so deep,
I would try to fall alsleep but my eyes could
not keep from flowing with tears
as I tried towipe away the anxious worries and fears
I kept inside of my heart this was a beginning
a start when we did finally depart.
It was a hard choice to make but I had to for
my own healths sake.
Just because I was the one to leave it didn't mean
that I couldn't still grieve and feel sad, the truth
be told if I didn't feel that way I would be heartless
and cold .
It doesn't make the situation any less painful
I have felt much pain but that has helped me
to cope and regain my self esteem and with
this I have learnt to deal with things better
or so it seems.
I have really grown-up these past years and I feel
like myself again and also someone I never thought
I could be but time has proved I can really
be the Real me and it is the best feeling to
live and be free to show the world I am
me, and me alone I feel happy and at home
and catching up on the time lost that is
what I paid the price and at great cost.
