Dear anonymous

Dear anonymous

A Poem by Billie Atterberry

I use to idealize you

I use to want to be just like you

There were times you made me cry

And there were times I wanted to die

 

And although I may miss you when you’re gone

I must say I’m finally moving on

Moving on from the I hate you’d

And wishing I was never born

Moving on from the hits I took

And the heart that you had torn

 

I can't stay angry forever

Or let my life just pass me by

I can't be afraid anymore

To try and enjoy my life

 

You took so much from me

So much more then you will ever know

But I must find a way to move past this

If I am ever going to grow

 

But before I can finally move on

I need to say a few things to you

And even though you say you dint remember

I know you know that this is all true

 

So here goes......

 

You took all the times I could of had

When you kept me from my dad

You took my spirit and dam near tore it down

Until I learned how to pick myself up from the ground

 

You took my faith and shattered it

When it came to happiness

Taught me how to sabotage love

And never really accept it

 

You took the childhood I should have had

When you would raise your fist to me

You took dam near everything

Away from me.....

 

I have pushed so many people away

Because I never knew what was real

And every time they got to close

I was to afraid to feel

 

But it may have took all these years

To realize my biggest weakness

And even though i still shed tears

I can no longer live like this

 

I can't keep the pain to myself

And sugar coat the truth

Its time I tried to live a happy life

And let go of the bad memories of you

 

So goodbye, to all the hurt, as I try to let go of this anger

I’m so ready to move on I am more than eager

I refuse to let you still hold me back

I refuse to let my future repeat my past

 

I’m moving on, and I am forgiving, I am letting go, and choosing to accept the truth

That just because my past was painful, I will still forever love and miss the real you......

 

The you, you rarely showed

 

The end
