For Me

I will live for me.
Not for you.
For me.
I will breathe.
For me,
I will be living happily.

I was thinking of this little song,
Which is for me and not for you,
Because you do not belong.
In my life you caused real strife.
That is why this isn't for you.
This is for me.

I will live for me.
Not for you.
For me.
I will breathe.
For me,
I will be living happily.

As I live my life,
It will be for myself,
Since this little song is for me,
Not for you.
It's not like I love you.

I will live for me.
Not for you.
For me.
I will breathe.
For me,
I will be living happily.

My depression rises,
As I think of you.
Because I'm living for me,
Not for you,
I don't know why you keep asking me,
To care for you,
When you don't even care for me.

I will live for me.
Not for you.
For me.
I will breathe.
For me,
I will be living happily.

I love this poem, " I will live for me. Not for you." This line is so true, but it really takes us a beating to realize that we should all live for ourselves. It takes a while to rediscover our true potential and live for oneself. Great write.

i got the same aching emotions when i read each individual piece of your writing. thanks for the request and sorry i didnt read this sooner. my page is collecting dust. the song is like a familiar voice in my head, ringing in my ears. a song noone can forget. nicely written and might i say, you seem to have a true gift to pull emotion into your work. cant say that your the best writer, but you're definately better than me. thanks for sharing.

I second James' remark, it'll work magnificently on piano :)
This is what I call raw art.
