You’ve been my best friend
Yet you have filled me with fear
You have beaten me down
‘Til I was no longer here
You have filled me with guilt
And stuffed me with shame
You’ve made me your prisoner
And only I am to blame.
You are all that I’ve had
You are all that I’ve known
You’ve chased loved ones away
And I felt so alone
Now, I am grasping at straws
From the depths of my soul
To rid me of you
And to make me feel whole
I step on the rung
Of this ladder I’ve made
As I climb a few steps
You start to fade
I am gaining in speed
Thoughts of you are long gone
I will never look back
Now I know I was wrong
I have entered a world
One not filled with strife
I have started to dream
And begin my new life
So I bid you farewell
No more shame...no more fear
A new day has dawned
And I am finally here.
