Fail

Fail

Never did I imagine I’d be on the other end,  

so far from your grasp.  

You’ve lost your vision of me,  

and I’ve lost faith in us.  

It’s time to close the door  

and begin a new chapter  

without you in it.  

You’re no longer the Prince I waited for;  

how can you profess your love  

when you haven’t heard my voice?  

Why hang on  

when there’s nothing left of me?  

I’ve stumbled a thousand times,  

striving to be the woman you envisioned.  

I’ve let myself down,  

failing to stand up for my own empowerment.  

It’s time for a change,  

time for me to leave  

and start anew,  

once again.  

I’ve been here before,  

and I’m putting my foot down�"  

no more going in circles.  

I will no longer fail myself;  

I will rise and fulfill my dreams.  

Try to break me  

and watch me soar.  

It’s time to shut the door;  

tomorrow is a new day.
