Finally

by Cathy   Jul 17, 2013


I'm not going to cry this time like I did before
I'm strong now as I watch you walk out my door
I refuse to give in to all the things you say
I am not the same girl that I was yesterday

It took me along time to finally see my worth
It took 15 years of heartache and hurt
I was always weak never too strong
I thought I could change you all along

I didn't want to give up on what I thought we had
I held on to you even though you made me sad
I thought I was doing it for you, or doing it for me
I thought maybe I can hold together our family

I now see though after all this time
I wasn't meant to be yours and you weren't meant to be mine
I have grown from all this and now realize
I've gotta let go, as I look in your eyes

I can't continue to live this way
I can't just sit back and watch my dreams fade
I want to live my life happy and free
I don't need you holding me back, trying to own me

    Hello Cathy,

    This is a poem that seems to have gone too long unnoticed.
    Although it is understandably placed in the sad section, it could equally be placed in the inspirational category. Despite all the hurt that's been suffered, the end suggests that you understand that moving on is sometimes the best way and that takes strength.

    Well written,

    Ben
