Why I left...


Leaving you was the best thing I could do

because who were you

to define my fate

with your selfishness

to brainwash my memories

with your lies

to hurt me

with your abandonment

and to throw away all I have sacrificed

Yes it was the best thing I could do

Because leaving you was healing me

and I was selfish

with my decision to leave

with my thoughts of wisdom

with two bags full of clothes and books

So that when I graduate

I know it's because of my selfishness

to take back my life and do extrodinary things

Yes I Left For Me.
