Moving On

Renewal

Grabbing my roll-on bag

Tossing my purse over my shoulder

I head for the door

You just can’t believe I’ll walk out on you

👣

I’m through with all the shit

I’m done fighting about getting nowhere

I wave bye as I walk away

You're shocked as I turn my back towards you

🔙

For years, it's been three steps forward

And two backwards

Now, it's nowhere but up for me

As I leave you behind in the dust

🆙

My life is coming up roses

As I stop to smell the flowers

I’m enjoying the sunshine

But you’re rocked by a storm

🌞

Peace has filled my life

True friends have surfaced

My heart is finally free to soar

While you are anchored to your hate

☮️

With a clear conscience

I travel through my new life

Making sure to spread the cheer

While all you do is pass on your lies

🍻

I hold my head high

I don’t need your approval

I know I’m doing right

The truth will come out with the wash

💯

I’m no longer playing the blame game

You’ll have to play with a new fool

This one has grown wise

So excuse me while I move on

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
