You said I regret leaving you
But you couldn’t be more wrong
Because the moment I was free of you
My heart filled with song
A feeling washed over me
You could say it was relief
When I no longer had to please you
Or care what you think
Leaving was the best thing
And now I’m really smiling
Because I traded in the jack-ass
For a strong, and handsome stallion

Love the poem. My donkey pal, Buddy, might have a different opinion but we know he is mule-headed to say the least.
LOL Thank you. I’m sorry for insulting donkeys. 😀 Tell Buddy sorry for me. I am an adoring fan. 🌺
I agree with Monkey’s Tale, how this sounds like song lyrics. And that last stanza of your poem. Yowza!
LOL Thank you, Dave! Maybe I’ll try to think up a tune for this. 🙂 I appreciate your encouragement. 🌺
It would make a great song! Maggie

I would had said, at the time when your poem was written, ‘Attagirl. Congratulations, you have just taken your power back!’ Now go ahead and live your life to the full. Blessings, Peter-James.

OH Yeah! I love the strength in your poem, Kymber. What a wonderful feeling to know you stood up for your happiness and made a strong decision. Cheers!
Thank you so much, Diana. 🙂 Sometimes life decisions aren’t easy, but if you’re a victim of domestic violence, you may not have another choice.

Loved reading this post, it has definitely brought me closer to completely being healed ❤️🩹 Thank you for sharing this Kymber !!🙏
Thank you so much, Celina. I’m so glad. Have a blessed day.
You’re most welcome 🙏
Sometimes leaving is the right thing. May it be a company, a friendship, a partnership, even family. If you feel better without, then take the right step.
A very good friend of mine always responds, “Happily divorced,” when someone asks her if she is single. It always makes me chuckle.
That makes me chuckle, too. LOL I appreciate your kind words of wisdom. You’re right. Sometimes there is no “fix” for a relationship. Sometimes leaving is the best and only thing you can do.
Truer words have never been spoken to describe the process and healing of your life! Proud of you for being stronger ever day!
Thank you, Bee. You are a true friend and confidante.
Loved it! Good for her!
Thank you so much, Kim! I’m sure she is much happier now. 🙂
Love this! Healing excision!
Thank you so much, Maranda! 🌺🩷
This is so true for many. I’ve never felt this way, but close!
Thank you, Jacqui. I hope you’re having a great day! 🌺🩷
Oh WOW !!! Now that was a punch to the gut. Very Powerful . I feel sorry for the recipient of this Powerful work of Expressing Art.
Thank you, Willie. I can definitely see why you feel that way. It’s an ode to survivors of domestic violence. 🌺
Oh, I understand, and I assure you, no disrespect was intended. What I meant was that the person this was addressed to should feel ashamed because your words were so powerful. I didn’t pity them, as if they deserved sympathy. Instead, I meant it as a call for them to face what they’ve done and listen to your voice. There’s no need for them to hide and avoid hearing the truth, but they should indeed feel shame. That’s how I intended it.
Thank you so much, Willie. I understand. I appreciate your comment and the fact that we can talk about things that are uncomfortable. May you have a blessed day.
“I feel sorry for the recipient of this” I think this comment needs more explaining because I’m not sure if I understand where your thought process came from. Kymber is too kind to ask this, but re read her response to you and I think you can understand why she is happier now. She is a survivor.
I’m sorry . I didn’t mean any disrespect at all. Maybe I shouldn’t have commented because it came out wrong .
Willie, I figured you didn’t mean it as it sounded. Hopefully I did not sound too harsh. After everything Kymber has been through I am very over protective of her. My apologies as well.
