NO!
What's that you say?
Don't be obtuse.
What! You think I should ignore the abuse?
No! I won't listen.
I don't give a damn
for the pitiful excuse
that you are for a man.
Of what I've achieved
I am not letting go
I left you behind in my past
long ago
So to hell with your feelings
and your broken heart
mine is still bleeding
you tore it apart
No! I won't listen
to another word you say
for once in my life
I'm having my way
You are so full of hatred,
and anger, so scared
of the people who wanted to help you,
who cared.
Now I'll make up for the courage that you lack
No, Dear I know I won't ever come back.
Such a powerful pronouncement of courage, confidence, clarity, and finally resolve to move forward toward the good, the positive in life.
