Poetry: Good-bye

by Missy Dickerson

Created on: June 21, 2009

The shards of glass cut my feet
as I dodge them in my path
I make my way humbly to you
My dignity severed by your wrath

I bow my head in self-immolation
for a person who isn't deserving
You take for granted the love I give
as you laugh at my humilation

No more will I take the abuse by your words
I won't say yes to the simple and absurd
The reigns are now cut and freedom is mine
You will be lonely now and I'll be doing fine

Goodbye to the pain that you wore
as a medal around your hateful neck
Goodbye to the tears that I cried
and the feelings that will be hard to forget

I'm free...now...finally at last
I walk away from you
and I won't ever look back.
