I’ve always wanted to break free
This moment is what I’ve lived for
I am ready to create the new me
Don’t want to do what’s expected anymore
🦋
I fled from all I knew
Became torn down and broken
Eventually I changed and grew
Inside me new life was awoken
🦋
My evolution is complete
I am ready to make my debut
I am done with all the deceit
Ready to start my life anew
🦋
Those I knew will be angry
Their way of life upset
They all thought they knew me
But I no longer exist for their benefit
🦋

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
