On Being Shunned

Folder: 
Emotional Emotions

 

Because I chose to continue life

over ending all of my pain

Because I chose the sunshine

over the torrents of rain

 

Because I finally took charge

took back my own being

Because I refused the chains

and directed my own freeing

 

Because I swiftly moved on

before life got too late

Because I found a good man

and refused any longer to wait

 

Because I love him madly

and he loves me intense

Because now I'm happy

and living makes sense

 

Because I didn't conform

and do things their way

Because I chose to listen to God

for the answers I'd pray

 

Because this life is too short

for such lifelong regret

Because my happiest years

are in front of me yet





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Shunning by some family and friends...simply because I finally decided to leave and end a hurtful marriage...and found the love of my life and am blissfully happy for once...all because they believe lies.
