You did me real bad
Got me oh…so sad
With heart in hand
I stand…
Moving forward
You will get your reward
Hit me with your sword
And not a kind word?
Well… it’s all good
You had me fooled
Thought I was your jewel
But, oh, the heart is cruel
Won’t see you as my foe
I’m a better person, see
After the lesson you taught me
I ain’t mad at ya
I ain’t mad at ya
Message received
You actually set me free
So…I ain’t mad at ya
I’m mad at me…

This is a beautifully articulated poem by a fellow blogger, check out https://thedealis.wordpress.com/
Ain’t it just the hardest thing though…
So hard…then I hear Michael sing “She’s out of my life”…
Awesome post Shelley, this poem really resonates with me.
Wow, thanks Prishantha
