Understand

Accept
I accept
the way that it is
how you see me 
you misunderstand
your mind made up
I defend myself no longer

 

Letting go
I am letting go
of the thoughts, wishes, and hopes
I once had
things will never be the same

 

Free
I am now free
I have nothing left to prove
nor should I have to
what you think of me doesn't matter 
anymore

 

I feel I understand so much
I know I understand so little
and what I really don't understand is WHY

 

Like a cosmic slap in the face
somewhere the Goddess of Pain throws her head back and laughs
