The Way You Live

by Samantha - Scorpio

I do not live my life in shame
I do not wish to stand here
Quivering
Cowering from the life I've lived
Scared to walk on ahead of them
For fear of someone who can see within
I haven't lived in the way
Anyone should obtain
But I do not blame myself or others
For pursueing anything that might have been

I've made my share of remembered mistakes
Fatal reactions to each deadly path I've taken
But in the end
The setting of the day
All that has been lived
Is pushed into the recesses of only my mind
Left to dissipate
Into the long forgotten

Through this life I've lived
Hardened and matured too soon
Then anyone should possibly go through
But when it comes down to it
I've lived
I've dealt
And I've moved on
To the wake of a newly replaced tomorrow.
