I want

to feel sorry for you but well I just can’t anymore.

It’s like a switch inside of me has turned off and I see you for who you are and I know we all are just human but, enough is enough.

You may not see it coming but, I do and in the end the only one smiling and feeling like they are finally free will be me.

This is what I want and no amount of money can help me stay and as I walk away will I worry about your fate?

No I won’t because you didn’t worry about mine when I was around and in the end as I fall you didn’t even try to reach out and help me back up.

So your fate is yours to deal with and as you go crazy and try to reach out and find a way out of this place there will be no escape for without me you fate is what it is royally screwed.

No peace will come to you and no one will help you clean up the mess and the word reliable will not be apart of your vocabulary anymore.

But, don’t worry you know no one will understand your struggle like I did.

I won’t be easy to replace but, you accepted that fate when you used me up and threw me down like I had nothing to say.

Now the words are flowing and you have no one to blame but yourself now and you probably won’t even take the blame in the end anyways will you.

I was lost in the dark and the light guided me home 

to a place that was safe and a place to grow, I became the person I thought I wasn’t capable of being. 

I was feeling alive again and nothing negative could stick to me and for first time in a long time I felt truly free of the darkness inside of me.

Daily Prompt: Relieved

Advertisements

She walked out the door feeling so relieved.

Her hard day at work was over and done

and it had ended on a good note.

She just wanted to relax and not stress out about anything for once.

But, she knew this feeling of relief would be over soon.

And all she could hope for was a better opportunity to come her way.

And right now she had to get through the storm before she could see what was truly in store for her.
