I’m locked in unforgettable memories but held captive by none. Instead, I listen to an unsung melody and the harmony it brings. The hook may play shallow tunes, but I won’t let that deter me. Despite the passing of time and the glare in her eyes, I’m taking control of my life, with or without her. I’ve found the strength to paint over my frustrations and let go of my insecurities. I won’t let impure intentions poison my well. I’m reclaiming my life and don’t need to mind anyone else’s.
