since you've been gone

Since you been away I've had time to think
I used to not control the constant feeling of I'm going to sink
I am alone with nothing but time.....
Time to think, time to be! Time to rhyme
suddenly I realize it was not u it was me
How the hell was I supposed to make you happy?
Not knowing myself or really what I wanted
Guess I just walked through life fronting'
Thought I was real couldn't even stand myself
I put me on the shelf
Now I am here since you been gone
And boy how I enjoyed this time alone.
I know me I'm Belinda and I like to cook
I even like to read all kinds of books
I see clearly live freely thanks to being alone
That addiction I thought was love was actually doing harm
Cocaine I said good bye and I won't turn back
Shit I got my damn life back
You held me down too long made me lose out
Lost love and prize title bouts
I'm back and I'm in control.
Glad your ass took that midnight stroll.
Since you been gone

An outstanding poem inspired by life's trials. A great piece welcome to OP. Robert...

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
