"A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves."


You are the one that got away
The one who caused all my doubt and dismay
The best worst thing in all of my life
I hoped for one day for you to be my wife.

You are the greatest, you are best
I know you are better than all of the rest
You believe you are perfect; you believe you are wise
I thought that for so long; almost all of my life
But now I know better, so I wish you well
When I listened to you I believed I was in hell

I’d rather die than be with you a second time
That life I was living was all just a lie
The feeling I had when I was with you
Mesmerized by your beauty; it had all been untrue

You are the greatest, you are best
I know you are better than all of the rest
You believe you are perfect; you believe you are wise
I thought that for so long; almost all of my life
But now I know better, so I wish you well
When I listened to you I believed I was in hell.


The author's comments:

This poem was created for everyone who has wasted their time on a person, whether it was a friend or a damily member; and soon realized that they did nothing but hurt you or make you feel worse. Remember this, when you realize this, you can change this, and make your life; and maybe even theirs better.
