I was there

I was there, bordering on despair
everything that I care
Seemed too painful to bear..

I was there, hanging in the air
being totally unaware
how I would miss the things we share..

I was there, naive and unprepared
seeking answers everywhere
why I have to live a life so unfair..

then,
I made up my mind, to put all behind
where no one is to find
those heartaches that could last a lifetime..

I made up my mind, as it is not a crime
to ignore or at least to feign
those sorrows that still remain entwined..

I made up my mind, to myself I shall be kind
not to let the world define
how to fulfill the pragmatic destiny that is mine..
