"Refuse To Be Haunted"

Torn is the heart and soul

And I am between those moments

Of what I want to keep and what I want to forget...

The unfortunate part is, we all eat lies when our hearts are hungry

It leads us astray to the abandoned and lost...

We anchor ourselves to things that may or may not be there

Sweet words cover up false hope

And a tender embrace holds hidden broken promises made

The combination of realizations cause thoughts to question

Acceptance and validation is one of the most powerful things

Honoured was the soul to receive such attention

Until the world within a world shifted

Change whispered hints of the end

Until I was lost again...

The worst kind of pain came...

Getting hurt by the person I explained my pain to

The sky fell...

My feet lost their way

Each day was a journey

Light to darkness, then darkness to light...

Life is now living and I am not looking back

My path does not lead that way

I have learned my lesson of you

I've removed myself from worthless feelings

My time matters

My soul is not replaceable

And I refuse to be haunted by ghosts you attempt to throw back into my life

You say this is your greatest act...

A final “gift” in a way

“The be all to end all...”

But I already know, that from all ash, growth begins

And I am beyond this now

Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got

Its learning you are always worth more than the moments passed

You can take back your so called, “last gift given”

Because the wrapping is very lovely

But the box its empty...

So, I'll pass.
