Allowed

He didn't like it when I wrote Guess my words were hard to swallow Difficult to handle the truth hurts sometimes especially to a coward but now I'm allowed To feel my own feelings and think my own thoughts I took them back, they are now all mine again I fought against it And now I'm allowed And if I choose to talk about him Or about whatever I want I'm allowed My reality is no longer in a battle against insanity Against misery and hate I didn't fight to win, I left to win I made excuses for him to people close to me, couldn't tell them the truth But now I am allowed But best of all I'm allowed to breathe I'm allowed to be me
