Tonight I finally see,
that you no longer have a hold over me.
Your face can't haunt me as no more I hide,
the pain and the anger you gave me inside.

With time it has died,
but still alive I find my pride.
No longer ashamed for the mistake which was yours,
for when I look at me I see no flaws.

Only my gifts as that's all that I hold,
the flaws merely a myth that by you I was told.
Nightmares don't come and wake me with tears,
as I've now learnt to live through my worst fears.

So I walk away from the hell you put me through,
finding peace in my mind for all you did do.
Up this ladder I go as the snake fades away,
no longer seeking solace as I know I'm going to be okay.

It may have taken some time but at last I'm here,
struggled and stumbled but I now hold no fear.
That my life would never be unpaused,
just because of the grief that you caused.

Me to feel for it does not matter,
that you made this porcelain heart shatter.
My own love has helped to seal at last,
all of the pain you made me FEEL IN THE PAST!!!
