"Own Your Choice"

As the pieces of that are let of us fall

I have to ask you...

Did you hear anything that I had to say?

And did it mean anything to you?

I had come halfway...

And I was waiting for you to meet me here

But now, as the receding footsteps fall

I watch the last sight of your footsteps fade from my eyes

Life has momentarily come to a pause...

Lost deep in reflection...

Memories cascade over the seconds

Every single part of my realization is made

By breaking the connection

I release the bond

I will not apologize for the mistakes you made

Claim what is yours and own it

Because I am not the worthless that you made me feel

We are all old enough to know better

So why don't you?

Because when you take it upon yourself to make choices on behalf of another person

You better be fully prepared to also take absolute responsibility for doing so

Whatever the out come may be

Good or bad...

Take responsibility for your own space

Because its your lie

Making it your bed

Which is your choice.
