I Learned To Walk Away Poem by Lubna Hazeem

This life holds hymns and chants
But to me i have made no plans
I lift my pride with empty hands
A superstition's who i am

Because lately i found myself alone
Because maybe i've waited for too long
And maybe i can't wait much longer
Until i am on my own
So i swallow pain
And i walk away
Because i learned to walk away
Oh, i learned to walk away

You rise higher while i decree
No one knows the doubt in me
But to end my suffering
I learned to walk away
Oh, i learned to walk away

Why listen when you're unheard?
Why put up with the weight of words?
Why keep singing the painful verse?
That rejects you....

Oh, the river runs wild
And im just an angry child
No one knows what or why
And no one needs to tonight
That depicts truth....

Nothing here can please me
Only a voice to tease me
And it says why....
I learned to walk away....
Oh, i learned to walk away....
