Letting Go

Standing strong today

Looking at the past

And its swaying ways.

The life that we held

Will no longer be the same.

Standing strong today.

The realization of a parting day.

The letting go 

And its swaying ways.

The dark nights parting ways,

The Gaining of self worth,

Standing strong today.

Knowing there's much more to gain

But with feelings of emptiness

And its swaying ways.

The love that once was, faded away,

But the heartache still alive, aching away.

The infinite death of a parting day

And Its swaying ways.

The Beginning

It seemed like things were finally falling into place.

I was demanding respect and  I was obtaining it. 

I could still view images in my head 

So vividly as if it were just yesterday, 

But for once, hope and inner happiness embraced me,

But disbelief still burdened me,

As the scars in my heart filled me with emptiness.

Still, I saw some light underneath the darkness 

And that comforted me in a strange unusual way. 

Free At Last!!!
