I once been fragile and dull
Everytime you walk away, I became like futile doll
You didn’t even look at me and say “hi”
Ignoring my presence, I’m feeling like high
I can’t imagine myself
Hypnotized by your vindictive spell, forgetting myself
And thought you could bring light to my life but no
‘stead you darkened my world, I became emo
Wait! But that was just before
I’ve been gotten myself awakened, bringing my right lore
No more tears on my face, covered me from shame
No more pains in my heart, blathered me from blame
I am free from misery
Free from your direct rejection, no more melancholy
Astonishingly, I can start a new life
Life without hates and life with goals, not for strife
Dare me! I can face you now
Can stand with a great proud, condemning myself from a vow
Vow that you will not affect me from your stares
Vow that you will not weaken me from your blares
If we ever meet again
I am a new ME and not like before – sitting with pain
Definitely, I will never be the same
Not probably, I will never be the same

Her presence makes all the difference between yesterday and today. Liked it.
Brushing aside darkness and moving towards light. Everyone has a right to live their own life rather than be submissive and be spurned like a cur.To break out from such a relationship requires courage. Well penned Thanks
The difference between yesterday and today the poets well about his lady in this poem. He was miserable before, but after seeing her he has gained confidence he says he is sure!
I love how you progressively become stronger with the develpment of this poem Sheldon, taking back your power until finally - you are in charge. This is the kind of poem that can give hope to everyone feeling weak and destroyed. Time is a great healer, there is always light at the end of the tunnel and you express it so honestly and positively here.
