I Will

You've left me lonely...

You've left me broken...

All your memories are now just thoughts left unspoken. 

So much potential...

A wave of silence has rushed through my life and now I'm left with nothing...

 

I want to runaway, just get out of here.

I want to start all over, live life without fear. 

No time for regret, there's no time for love. 

I put too much at stake for a craving of lust. 

Life's to short to cry,

I'm done complaining I swear.

There's all this possibility of happiness drowned out by fear. 

 

I won't be broken.

I won't be lonely. 

I said enough is enough I'm getting out of here. 

I will be me..

A whole 'nother person you'll see. 

I'm tired of trying to be what you expect of me. 

You won't be dragging me down,

you aren't welcome here.

You never belonged,

that empty promise of love was a sign all along. 

I should've known then, but I'm smarter now. 

I will follow an uncharted map of life, 

I will find what's right. 

 

It's not too late now, only time can tell. 

I will start this new life, no longer an empty shell.

I will move on yes, there's nothing anyone can say. 

I don't need you or anyone okay. 

This is my choice, a promise I made to myself.

One that I will keep forever and well; 

you wouldn't know what that's like because you've broken all yours. 

Now they're just all lies covered in dirt. 

 

I think it's time that everyone knew, 

I'm not this shy little kid that everyone's used to. 

I'm gonna climb to the top and yell as loud as I can.

Just to prove to you that I'm not a waste of skin. 

 

I want to runaway, just get out of here.

I want to start all over, live life without fear. 

No time for regret, there's no time for love. 

I put too much at stake for a craving of lust. 

Life's to short to cry,

I'm done complaining I swear.

There's all this possibility of happiness drowned out by fear. 

 

Not anymore...

This life is too great to go on living in the dark. 

I will take chances, I will fill the holes.

I will find the ending to my story untold. 

I will live life and leave my mark.

 No one knows me now but I willl not sit and wait.

I will embrace this life that God has gave. 

I have my bags all packed and have my ticket in hand. 

I've left you this note, it's the last thing I wrote. 

It's my final goodbye...

I am always saying there

I am always saying there needs to be more teaching about virtues and the vital knowledge of the importance of things seen only with the heart in primary education. It is impossible to teach children what they need to know to see the world in a realistic way without those things. Many misgivings go misunderstood for them due to the overpowering wave of commercialism and society's adaptation to what is of little importance in a child's unbringing. Fact is, you are going to be disappointed in life, you are going to be hurt, used, critcized, at times, and when parents try and portray to a child that they can somehow be protected from that, they unknowingly set them up for a lifetime of disappointments, but even worse, they rob them of the gratification that comes from living a life with these virtues as a priority. I am glad that at least you have seen this double edged sword of life at a young age...with your passion, believe me, it will most likely be tough, but worth it in the end. Good luck to you and stay safe. Let your conscience be your guide. ~peace~

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Thank you :) but no need to

Thank you :) but no need to apologize. I gain a great deal of independence from experiences like this and am very thankful for that. I try and find the positives in each scenario and the events that led to this piece only led to newer, better things. :)
