No More "Again"
'No More 'Again"' is continued from 'You Again?' and is essentially the next step after walking away from or putting something down that is known by one to be hurtful/harmful to one's self. It can be a person, it may be a place or a thing. The vast majority of times it's not as simple as saying "I'll never do that again." or "Never again with him/her." Letting go is a matrix of thought, moods, decisions, and often changes that looks different for everyone.
Why am I-
Still living in the past?
Again-
Knocking on a door that closed long long ago
Uninvited-
Every other door is open
But I stand in front of what is closed
Why is this where I "want" to go?
Again-
Fatally atttacted to an empty space
Running in reverse
Chasing what used to be
What lies in my rear view will surely be the death of me
Blood stains show what damage is done
There's nothing left that can be done
All that remains are the lies that lie in my breath
"I need this..."
Lies to myself-
"I need you..."
Without one to blame but myself
What remains is not the best of me-
But what's left of me
Let me take what pieces remain of this mess for myself
And find peace in saying goodbye
This will surely be a test of me- To save the rest of me
Again, I'd love to stay, but-
I have some rebuilding to do
And, I have to say-
This scene will not be revisited again
When I walk away-
There will be not be another "again"
I can't change the weather-
But, this is for the better
So, after today
There will be no more "again"
About the Creator
Josh Morgan
Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
