Are You Happy Now?

She left the note on the counter with not one tear falling.
She was proud of that for she had cried so much she felt dry and dead inside.
As she tossed her bag into the car she stared at the house she had spent so many happy years in.

"So tell me are you happy now?" she said softly as she looked at the house in the dawning light of the new day of the first day of her new life.
"Are you happy that your dreams are a reality at the cost of so many others?"
"Are you happy that your lies and betrayal for your own selfish needs tore apart what you said you held dear?"
She whispered these words for the last time for they would not cross her lips again.
She may be broken right now but she is strong. She is a warrior and she will move on in her life.
It was time for her to find what she wanted for once. To live for herself and not be swayed by others to do what they desired.

She backed out of the driveway and without a glance back drove off into the rising sun.
