Moving On….. Poem by Masked lady

Been listening to myself again lately,
I have accepted things the way they are,
Have I moved on? I want to start the year right,
With bright disposition, and put sorrows to memories.

Weight things up, why they happened the way they did,
What has been done can never be undone,
Is it the same way with love? with marriage?
Yes, when all the respects, and the love have flown,
What is there left to save the relationship?

But what is moving on? Is it having another love?
To others that’s what it means, to me it’s not.
It’s the ability to look back with a smile,
Going on with life with self-respect,
With assurances that no matter what
This person will never be abused again.

I’ve been listening to myself again lately,
And I heard it loud and clear,
I am now ready to move on being the new me,
Hopeful for a happier life, free from pains,
Free from abuse from a person I once loved dearly,
A life of being alone with the kids for life.
