Remember Me When I'M Gone Poem by connie shockley

Remember me when I’m gone as I will you if I take a new pathway
I’m weary and tired of living a silent, dreary existence
I need to find some peace, contentment, and happiness someway
I need a way to reach my dreams and to give my life substance

Just as I think I might have finally found something good in this life of mine
I find that those who you care about most are not always who they seem
I’m tired of being used; finding some people now leaves a bitter taste like cheap wine
Finally learning I’m not achieving mine but their dream

So if you’re a user then my hat goes off to you for fooling me
I give and enjoy giving to those who appreciate what I have to offer to them
Once I realized and see the truth then it’s my shame if I don’t set myself free
One thing to remember I will give this little spell to you from this femme

“I let loose the universe upon your head
May what you sew you now harvest on this day
Now you’ll feel the thorns of your rose bed
For this is the witch’s way”
