Forsaken by your simple mind,
makes my life dance,
I wave goodbye.
Your selfish ways, simply unkind,
desperate to take
what others find.
I elevate so you can sigh,
all eyes are shut
or simply blind.
The games you play are well outlined,
manipulate
until confined.
Entrapment with no reason why,
to entertain
your hidden side.
You like to laugh as others cry,
seeing through you,
hurts me inside.
Unknowing all you chose to hide,
so glad that I
opened my eyes.
I hold my tongue, release all binds,
no wish for luck,
or evil grind.
Our lives no longer intertwine,
not looking back,
the past reminds.
Instead, my heart chooses to fly,
under the sun,
feeling divine.
– Grace Y. Estevez-Reddy
