Now I Can Be Me
~ By Sue ~

It would not surprise me
To hear him say
He thinks I want him back
Since I talk to him each day

There is no truth to his thoughts
This he will know
He gave me the break I needed
To just get up and go

I got tired of beer cans
Being stashed behind the chair
Even when I tried to talk to him
He did not seem to care

His drinking got so bad
He never did come home
Now it does not matter
Because I can live alone

Confusing things he says to me
One minute he says one thing
The next he says something else
I do not know what to think

The one thing I do know
I am glad he set me free
Because now I can leave
And I can just be me

That's the path to go Sue. Being yourself is the only way you should aim for.

Keep those strong feelings and don't listen to his peptalk, because it would be the same all over again.

Geez, don't know if I returned your mail. I'm so damned busy these days.

Growing, growing, grown! Sue, you're growing in leaps and bounds. You are becoming strong and becoming your own person! This is so evident with this liberating poem you wrote.
