I Must Be

by Ladida   Dec 17, 2005


Was I walking around with my eyes shut?
Could I not see right from wrong and which way was up?
I must be the dumbest girl around
To have not seen that we were hell bound

What was I thinking? Was I thinking at all?
I wanted you to be everything and I let myself fall
I don't even read my horoscope anymore
I just don't believe it the way I did before
I must be real pathetic to let you change me
It's embarrassing to admit that I miss how we used to be

Just a little boy, that's all that you are
If you were close enough I'd hurt you, but you're too far
I must be blind because I didn't see her in your eyes
And I must be deaf because I didn't hear the truth in your lies

Even though you've hurt me I don't hate you
I'm angry but hating you isn't the right thing to do
I'm too good to come down to your level now
I'm gonna be a bigger person than you somehow
I must be too much woman for a little boy like you
Because you couldn't handle me you didn't know what to do

I still hurt inside because of what you've done
But I'll stay brave, I won't turn away and run
I must be the strongest woman ever to live
To be able to stand tall in front of you after what you did

I must be amazing, beautiful, and strong
To be able to forgive you after you did me wrong
I must be so much more than you must have seen
Because even though you tell them you hate me, I choose not to be mean

I must be more of a woman than even I knew
Because even though I'm fighting feelings, I'm letting go of you

    Wow i loved this, every word from start to finish. AMAZING- i think the flow and rhythm was great, very consistent and the emotion.
    I've been here- wish i'd have handled it this well but Glad you took something posotive from it and sooner or later- he'll regret letting you go, if you're half as good as your poetrie!!
    MY favourite part was *I must be blind because I didn't see her in your eyes
    And I must be deaf because I didn't hear the truth in your lies* really relate to that bit. But i love the ending- the way you finished it off on a posotive note and yep- you're a better woman without ! xx GREAT JOB!
