Starting Over

April 24, 2011
By Anonymous

I've let it all go, and started over.
Don't you get it? I'm free now.
Leave me alone.

I've let it all go, and started over.
He's everything I wanted, and more than I deserve.
You obviously weren't.

I've let it all go, and started over.
You suffocated me, and you still do.
Please go away.

I've let it all go, and started over.
But it's okay, I forgive you.
I'm happy now.

My ex boyfriend was bothering me, months after we had broken up. His actions varied from simply bothering me, following me, and irritating me, to yelling, screaming, and being mean to me. This was a poem I wrote out of anger, and to get his attention to leave me alone.
