Finally Free Poem by g george

My heart skipped a beat and in her embrace I longed for,
I envisioned what could be, holding onto memories of her,
An ideal I held high, yet disdained the reality she presented
It couldn't possibly be this,

I learned to love myself, joy I found, my interestingly -
boring life I  tuned up, peace my portion
Out of my comfort zone I moved just to  get her attention,
Despite my efforts, I loathed the emotions it stirred.

Finally  free, woke I've become,
Change so hard, and  it's a  journey I'm enjoying
Learning to let go, this time, I'll emerge stronger.
A student of life, I embrace the lessons learned.
This time  grateful for all it has taught me, and  friend
I'll have this,

Eventually freed
