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.
