The End of an Era I loved you since the day I was born You were my everything I wanted to please you in every way Don't you remember? Your childhood companion, your personal tutor Your one true love, every single day Despite my honesty, my open heart, You never knew this nor truly believed me My words were never against you In my need to fit in your mold I began to hate and tear me down too Your love is both a blessing and a curse Full of warmth, with the hint of judgement For every dream I dreamt, You fed it with one hand While snuffing it out with doubt I honored your words, trusting you blindly Losing my way and my instincts The wings I was endowed I never realized I had, nor how to use them Your strings did most of that work You like labels and titles, jobs all clear Daughter, Wife, and Mother It suited you to see me situated in a role I'm sure there's a lot of comfort To know that my future is set - no room to err, not a single loophole But I'm too old to match your footsteps I'm ending it today while I'm choking on my doubts, But force of habit, as usual, here I go with the flow You can pretend, it's all for my best - you did your duty But the lesson this time is: it's time to let me go
Wow! I see the beginning of @BhumiBabe era in this end of an era. As they say, every ending has a beginning in it, every question has an answer and as one door closes another opens. May this end be the beginning of a new era in your life
