Tell me what to say

And lead me through the shadows

Show me the escape

Where you go I will follow

I left behind

All that I used to be

So that you'd stay with me

And you've become

Everything that I need

For my sanity!

How can something so enticing have such awful side effects?

All the itching and the scratching

From withdrawal keeps me out of check!

I am fixated on all of the things we were together...

But those are fragments that are better off lost forever

I'm falling apart piece by piece

To shards of what you have made of me

But I've risen above all that I have become

Turned from the pain I was trained to love

I left behind

All that I used to be

But this time

I did it for me

And you were everything I needed

To set me free

I am not going to be scared anymore

I will not run

Nothing will stop me

I am much stronger than you'll ever give me credit for

I won't let you belittle me

You can't hurt me

I am strong

I am fearless

I survived!

I'm proud of myself

I love myself

I'm happy!

I don't need you

I'm unstoppable!

I am brave

I'm a good person

Never again

I did this for me!

If I cut the strings

That held me hostage

Would fall and shatter ?

If that's what it takes

To breathe again

Would it even matter ?

How can something so enticing

Have such awful side effects ?

All the itching and the scratching

From withdrawal keeps me out of check!

I am fixated

On all of the things!

We were together...

But those are fragments

That are better off

Lost...

And just

How can something so enticing

Have such awful side effects ?

All the itching and the scratching

From withdrawal keeps me out of check!

I am fixated

On all of the things

We were together...

But those are fragments

That are better off...

Lost forever!!
