“The wait was over, it was done
No more guilt, no pain no consideration!
For moons, I’ve carried the weight of others
My shoulders swelling before turning to mush
I had my life, my own road to walk
And no matter, clear it was I walk alone
No wonder, I’ll only have myself to blame
If I was rejected, shunned or went insane
They’re all selfish, why would they care?
I’m just the burden carrier, the tear sweeper
A person before sleeping only thinks of others
What more am I waiting for?
Everyone leaves, by choice or forced
Alone I will be left either ways
It’s time I finally looked in the mirror
Time to see myself, get to know her
The features, wrinkles and creases
The heart folds and the brain twists
My past, my decisions and the road I’ve walked
The mornings, the new beginnings and nights
Where I’m now and what I’m doing
The place I’m heading and why
It’s time I stood-up for myself
I have a feeling she deserves it!”
