Wasted Waters

I gently rise and harshly fall
I want to say I am done! I have had it.
But I can not
I won't allow me
My spirit won't allow me

I am still treading on, crunching forward, slapping past
This courage be? Will?
It hasn't been easy, for such that feels too much
and anger banks
One who doubts and sometimes responsible feels
Even though not a hand I had in the deal

I try to be everything for everyone, do they even see?
I worry about their worries, do they even know?
Understanding to the one who does everything
Tries everything.
The best for the one who repeatedly reminds me of my womanhood
And therefore such house responsibilities fall.
Including to the one who takes and takes from us.
A shield to the ones who have to grow up and easy it has not been
And hardships they have found
Strong to the one who is strong, the one who pulls through no matter what
Who will not be defeated by life.
I say goodbye to you
My see-through marking prips
I have never liked you but could not be helped for one who feels so
I say goodbye to you troubles who twist and turn me
I say goodbye to wishes  long time past
Goodbye

It is time to stand anew, renewed
Here comes the new journey and shoes must be worn
It is time for me.
The me that I want to be 
The me that is!
