Chicago

What I didn’t 
lose I gave 
away wanting nothing 
to ever remind 
me of what 
was once everything 
it is strange 
now standing here 
in this peace
eight long years 
later being not 
what I was 
but what I 
am and this 
now this new 
me will never 
go back to 
any of that
for that at
least to me 
no longer exists 
it is done
