I thought I'd be happy
I thought I'd finally feel free
But I don't
All I feel like is crying.
I finally said the words
I'd held in for so long
Not changing my mind
Not this time
I need to rebuild my life
I need to rebuild me.
I'm closing a door
Opening another
It's scary but exciting
Leaving one life behind for another.
Sixteen years together
Nine years married
Three kids
So many memories
Half of our lives
About to be signed away
So much is about to change.
And here I sit
Wanting to cry
For all I'm losing
For all the pain I'm in
For all the pain I caused
But it's not a total loss.
I loved and learned
What I can take to the next one
He'll have to love these kids
Know they come first
And love me the right way
There's things I just won't take.
It's gonna hurt
It's gonna be rough
In the end
We'll be glad we did this.
Both of us will find happiness.

PoetryI'm still working on myself. I still have a long way to go.. I have times where I forget how far I have gotten and how far I still have to go.
