Poetry

I just want

To breath

And smile

And feel alive again.

I don’t want to hold back anymore.

I know that this is my time and I just can’t sit around struggling anymore.

I must take this step and do what I love first and let everything else work it’s self out.

I don’t know when my time will run out and so right now I know is the right time to make my move.

For tomorrow could be too late and I’m tired of regretting things I didn’t do years later.

I’m ready to say goodbye to all of you

For holding on to the past isn’t helping me now in the present.

The memories are there when all I wanted was five minutes of your time.

But, now I see you all as I hide away from the truth and just accept this is my life now without all of you.

I used to be sad that you all didn’t seem to care where I was or how I was.

But, now I just don’t care anymore and realize being on my own wasn’t so bad after all.

No worries or concerns for I know me, and I know how and what I like as I live a life where I come first and

If your lucky I’ll let you be apart of this life and don’t worry I won’t ignore your text or calls.

For I’ll be there for you like you were never there for me.
