My Confessions

I originally wrote this in 2010, when I was in the hospital, but I decided to revisit it last year and I revised it and added some stuff to it. Here's the finished product.

My heart is tattooed,

all with scars left from you.

Torn apart by not just what you say,

but what you do.

My heart is hurting and

I've been searching for a way

to let it go.

Just let it go.

I confess that I've done wrong.

I confess I want to be strong.

I confess that at night,

I lay and cry.

But at best I love to be kind,

and at best I do what's right.

In the end, I'll see it through.

I confess all this to you.

It may make me seem weak,

but really I'm strong.

I'll take the hurt and

keep trekking along.

All the while dealing with this shame.

Who is to blame?

I confess you put me down.

I confess I was your clown.

I confess that I let myself believe

your lies.

But at best my life's a song,

that I sing at the top of my lungs.

In the end, I won't be blue.

I confess all this to you.

I'm no longer your fool.

I confess that I'm no

longer blue.

And I don't belong to you.

Well done Ashley! Moving on is one of the hardest things we can ever do, but it is also one of the most liberating feelings in the world. It must have taken you some bravery to put this down on paper:) we are all proud of you
