Should We?Should we let our lives pass by? Being miserable and sad and blue! Or take control, make life whole, And so what we have to do! We only have one life you know, And mine is important to me! For I haven't fought this battle hard, That I will let sadness always engulf me! When things go wrong as they will, And a marriage falls apart, There will always be hurt and pain, And a grieving of the heart! But do we take the blame for that? All the pain that is causes those… Who are in our life, our offspring? In truth, it's my entire fault, I suppose. I guess I hurt them all that day, When I walked out of that home… And left behind a world of pain, Me, the woman with the heart of stone!! So I took the guilt and carried it, Until it wore me down so much, And when I needed the support... Oh were, oh were, was my crutch? I was floundering in a sea of tears, Drowning in my guilt and pain, But no matter what the outcome was, It was me that was going insane! I wasn't selfish or nasty, I wasn't cold or callous or more… I was just very sad and alone, And wondered what the hell it was for! But the guilt that I carried wasn't mine, No, it was a burden shared by both, And it couldn't go on any more, So I broke that vow, that oath. Yes, I walked away from that promise, That bound us both together… But I couldn't stand the pain anymore, And I couldn't take it forever. So I broke the golden rule, And flew in the face of God above, But I can't deny, I would do it again, At the risk of loosing God's love! He didn't tell me to live a life, Of misery, hurt and pain! No, He gave us the choice of paths in life, And I would choose this one all over again! I didn't want to hurt my kids, Nor to break their fathers heart, But I also can't live a life of lies, So I decided to make a new start. And God help me, the road was rocky, With twists and bends and fear! How would I cope, would I be ok? My future was far from clear! But to be true to me, as only I can, I had to make this choice, And once and for all, finally, I was able to use my voice! I know I caused insurmountable pain, For my kids, I see it in their face, But I will say this, and mean it, They would do the same if they were in my place! Just because it's gone on for so long, Doesn't mean that we can take it all, It beats you down, breaks you down, And you lose your way, your call. So I called it like it is this day, And walked tall as I walked that last mile And now, well all I can say it this… You will forever see me in smile! Why should I live a life in misery? And why stay when I wanted to go? For the path I walked, was my path! No-one walked with me, they don't know! So yes, some got hurt by this, By me leaving, but what should I do? Stay to keep the peace, when they are happy? Hell no, because I deserve to be happy too! And I'm sorry it pained my kids so much, But they have their own life… They make their choices as we all do, Would they choose a life in strife? I don't think so! Do you? I left, because I should, and I did, But I was always the best I could be… I am a mother, but a person too! And have a life to live, a life for me! Does it make me a monster? Does it make me wicked? Does it make me selfish? If So, Then I Am Guilty Of All Those Crimes. But I Would Do It All Again In A Heartbeat! I Am A Person Too Dammit! I Have A Life Too!!!
