As Soon As I "Rid, My Heart"!

As Soon As I "Rid My Heart"!

While looking in the mirror
my eyes were stunned to see
A person filled with sadness
glaring so hopelessly at me:

I wanted to look away
but it was time I faced the truth
to the world I may seem happy
but in reality I was really blue;

You see there were so many places
I had a desire to go
and there were so many things
I had a desire to do
And I am going to make
those desires come true
"AS SOON AS I RID, MY HEART" of you;

I searched my mind, hoping to learn
why in the first place to you I turned
The answer was bitter, but yet so sweet
I turned to you because I became weak;

This new Revelation has made me strong
I now have the Wisdom to correct my wrong
For now I know where I must look
to regain my self-esteem you took;

I must search my Soul to find the clue;
in order to know what I must do
to finally "RID, MY HEART" of you.

Now when I look in the mirror
I am grateful to see
a person filled with Joy and Happiness,
glaring back at me,

And it is all because I did
what I had to do,
And that was "TO RID, MY HEART" of you.

FROM MY HEART TO YOURS

About this poem:
I wrote this poem some 20 years ago; it was not written only to reflect the relationship blunders of my life; but a friend of mine was on drugs and was in a serious car accident; she survived, but her boyfriend died. I went to see her in the hospital, and my heart sunk when I saw the condition she was in; so I went home and wrote this poem, because I realized that it was in her heart to do drugs, and she wouldn't be able to stop until she rid her heart of that desire.

My friend did recovered from her injuries; but she was never the same; I heard that she had gotten herself cleaned but it didn't last. Its been some years since I lived in the same state as her, we lost contact; so at present, I don't know her state.
