Untitled Poem From 1/9/23

No longer a doormat, eyes open I can see,
Tracking mud on my face, no fool shall I be.
Ready for life, now my door is wide open,
No longer your fool, I’m no longer broken.
It was hard at first to be on my own,
Conflicted with pain and again all alone.
But the days went on, the weeks turned into months,
I started to grow from this thing I called love.
I realized my worth and it was more than you’d see,
Then again you knew my worth, that much I guarantee.
So some advice I would now like to share with you all,
If you truly love a person don’t make them feel small.
Don’t take them for granted, you will wake up alone,
Their feelings will fade as their heart  becomes Stone.
Do as I say friends and not as I do,
I’ve poured my heart out and loved just like you.
But when the pain hurts more than the love you may feel,
It’s time to move on and time for you to heal.

❤️ Always
Shannon
