So I wave goodbye to the weakening ties I was bounded by
Friendships made of diluted compositions not fit to withstand the reality of it all
The ones who were quick to offer listening tongues of judgment when life wasn't on my side
But now show no love once guy troubles and low self esteem are no longer my topics of interest and my dreams they pay no interest in
So now I'm a part time friend with no benefits, no insurance no care unless my mind is needed
So I wave good bye
To the misinterpreters who swear they've interpreted me but don't even know a third
Sized me up and down like their figurations mean something
Placing me on a level I've been surpassed and conquered
Anxious to see me fail, nervous to watch me prevail
So while I succeed to the top
I wave goodbye
To the past loves, lost loves and the loves that never flourished because they didn't deserve that growth
The fake players, greedy heart snatchers
Whispering tainted hymns of love devotion in my then weak ear
But now I'm at my highest peak overlooking their downfalls while they’re lost fake love making in synthetic sheets of girls they wish that were me
So I wave goodbye
To my premature ignorance, the old days
When locking lips and bodies was my self definition
Handing my heart on a paper plate with a napkin to any young male who posed the slightest interest
That I took as authentic companionship or something similar to it
But the dissimilar is what I injected
The least I'll never seek to explore not as long as my mind stays true to the heart and the one never slips away...
I found him...
So I wave good bye
To the early morning sunrises and late night sunsets spent on the balcony of my high rent apartment intaking unhealthy substances to numb the pain
Of loosing my child, loosing my mind, loosing my first love, loosing friendships titled as the best and loosing my self respect
The senseless situations I opted to remain in because my inner conscious I deprived the chance to speak
The hard lessons I looked in the eye then beat with a bat and gave the friendly peace sign to
So I wave good bye...
To the old self and I welcome with a greeting card and a hug..the new me..
I wave goodbye
Edwin
