poetry

bet u thought that would hurt me
and i gotta admit
i entertained the thought
of letting ur intentions
live
but for once i'm realizing
you can't hurt me...
only i can

it's a decision

unavoidable hurt happens in life
like sickness
fear
death
but you?

naw.
nope.
go 'head n move on

replace me
ignore me
flaunt -it-up-in-my face.

but i'm good.

i love
(d)
support
(ed)
encourage
(d)
YOU

it's your loss...
and this time
it's not poor me,
but you.

That boy can always get to you! But the sooner you let go of the bitterness the better off you will be but it sounds like you are headed in the right direction. I'm proud of you! :-)

Great poem. I wish this could relate to my granddaughter because she has a hard time moving on and realizing that she is better off. Well, I guess I can say that this is true for a great deal of us. Good poem.
