Do You Wonder?

I sometimes wonder
If you ever think of me
Of who I have become
And how I am doing

Do you wonder where I am?
If I am living close to you
Or gone across the world
And made good of myself?

Do you wonder what I do?
What kind of job I am in
If I am married or single
And do I have kids?

Do you miss me?
Do you wish I had stayed?
Or are you glad I have gone
And given you peace

Or do you miss me so much
That you want me back
Does it feel to you?
Like a piece of you is missing

Do you even think of me at all?
Or have I left your mind completely
Do I feature in your memories?
Do I have a place in your heart?

Or am I just a mistake you made
Something to never think about
Or do you cry tears at night
Guilty about what you did?

Steal My Joy

I have made a decision
That is when you put me down
I am going to stand strong
And not let you steal my joy

Every day the jibes are made
And every day they hurt me
But now it will wash over me
As you will not steal my joy

You may think you are important
You may think you know everything
But you don’t really know me
And you will not steal my joy

So go on, do all you can
To antagonize and undermine me
Because nothing you do or say
Will take the true joy away
