My True Strength
January 20, 2015
You brought me down
Broke my strength
Drained me of life
I built myself up,
Fought the lies
Tried to stand
You threw the knives
Made it rain fire
Stole my smile
I flight the mirrors
Became a sea of power
Learned to love
You lashed out with poison
Made the bruises bigger
Became the dark of my nightmares
I became strong
Learned to fight and live
I walked away,
And never looked back
