On this

Taken by: quentin

Path called life and maybe this path has been walked on or drove on before.

And I’m not the first one to cross this path but I know this journey is just for me right now.

As I look down and around at the unfamiliar place I am in right now.

I know the situation isn’t the same as the person who walked before me but I’m ready to go to the impossible.

If it keeps me from breaking away and taking things too far then I’ll gladly welcome this change.

Am I

To fold to every demand you try to make.

Or will you realize I’m not that same girl.

Things have changed and you may not be okay with that.

But I am because I’m taking back my life and my words and my confidence.

I am tired of second guessing things and hesitating about other things.

I may have been a little over the top but I didn’t make you feel like an outsider looking in on well a life that truly wasn’t never mine.

I found my voice once I let you go and now I barely think of you.

I think you pop up I my mind as a reminder I am and always will be stronger and better off without you!

I’m not

going to lie or try to hide how I feel right now.

So I’ll just keep my mouth shut and not say anything at all.

I don’t want to tell you what your supposed to be doing because well I’m not the boss of you.

But, it’s weird and just plain unfair when I do more than you and yet, at the end of the day you think and believe you did it all by yourself.

I’m not going to lie but sometimes you really piss me off and I want to tell you off but, I realize what good would that serve when you never seem to listen.

I don’t want to waste my words on someone who won’t take what I have to say to heart.

Only

You can fill this empty space I’ve had since I could remember

at first I thought it could be filled by worldly things but nothing kept that space filled.

Until one day I knew not what to do next with the life I had made for myself from the choices I had made on my own.

So I gave my life to the lord and I was saved and everything I did or listened to felt heighten and the empty space inside of me that only he could fill was filled and overflowing.
