this man is helping me get A’s in college (and a poem)

March 20, 2008 by shishnit

His music is soothing, calming, beautiful….melodic.  Well written. I wish I had written these lyrics.

“And the hurt that made you humble wanna write about

Is the love that made you crumble from the inside out-rich price  

The other day I called my ex-husband just to tell him something.  It wasn’t about my son. It was something that I wanted probably to boast about.  His response was cheerful and he was happy for me.  I wish I could lie and say it didn’t matter, but it did.  It mattered and it was ok.  It was like opening a yearbook and remembering …finally…something good.

And I turned my car around that bend 

One moment made me release the pain amen 

Instead of seeing hell in the rearview mirror 

I saw the future, bright and beautiful again 

 

I put my foot on the pedal 

And pushed down swift 

I turned my gaze from the past 

And I moved on, seemingly quick 

 

Acceptance that it’s ok 

For me to carry a piece on and on 

It’s not necessary 

to cut off, and ok that something’s gone 

 

Independence tattooed her name 

Deep on my soul 

Trepidation left me speechless 

But now I am whole
