my new awareness

I Separated from you - body, mind and soul.

I Separated from you complete and whole.

It was inevitable, it was sure

It had to happen I was sure.

I had to do this to keep my self-respect

Or else there would be a scar on my aspect.

My inner self was hurt, I was choked

I had to breathe if I had to live. When the point came to choose between living and suffocating,

I chose to live.

My decision was simple and clear

You and I were never near.
