This Is My Path a Mara Prose Poem
I never thought I’d see the day
Where our love would ebb and go away
I always thought we would be one
I never thought we’d be undone
I always imagined a storybook ending
I never knew we would be past mending
Was it worth it? Who knows,
It’s still being written
There are times I’m lonely but then there
are times remotely, I feel a sense of peace,
wonder and control
Because now I have a new lease on life
Now I have a world without strife
I’ve said my goodbyes much to everyone’s surprise
I’ve cried my tears and dried my eyes
I’m mending my heart and learning to live apart
Will I love again? Maybe, I could start
My priorities lie in loving myself
I don’t have to change anymore
I can just be thyself
I let it all go because it was what was best for me
I needed a change, I needed to be free
I’ve spread my wings and hope I don’t fall
I’m following a new path, I’m following my call
It’s hard, it’s taxing and some days seem so blue
But then God sends a sign for me to remain true
I am grateful for the strength to press on
I am grateful for the people I can fall back upon
The story is being written right before our eyes
All the new developments are a wonderful prize
So I accept my new journey and I am in no hurry
I want to enjoy the experiences, I don’t want my memories to be blurry
Because this is my path and I have to make it last
This is my path and let’s just leave it at that
