February Poetry Contest - Move on

In an unfair way, I no longer want to play.

So here I jump, in a leap of faith.

Wishing that I could have been born in a different way.

Having the freedom to say what I like to say.

Do I have to do it that way?

Could it be better to stay?

Maybe a miracle could happen the very next day.

Existing is for me to grow and wait.

Living with pain, yet nobody can take that away.

Living with joy doesn't mean I forgive and forget what I hate.

For all I have lost, God will arrange me a better place.

Staying is not surrender, but holding on to my own true faith.

Yes, I couldn't reclaim all the years that I gave.

And yes, I may never make them pay.

However, I don't need that anyway.

From now on, I can pave my own way.

For one day, I can leave here for a sunny bay.

I won't even notice you from miles away.

Nor care if you are alive or buried in a grave.

Turns out, ignoring you stops you from taking more away.

Your next victim is not for me to save.

Your sin no longer stands in my way.

While I look away, I have been better every day.

I have plenty of room for angels surrounding me in good grace.
