Arrows
Arrows
I am not your target anymore.
Your sharp arrows can no longer reach me.
I am in a place so far away from you.
The echoes of your words have stopped in my mind.
I have found peace, you thought I wouldn’t find.
It took a long time to get here.
I am out from underneath the shame
That you projected for so long.
I happened to be the one you had to blame
To survive your own past actions.
You power disintegrates, torn up by your lies.
A conscience never there, could not be revived.
You owe me nothing, for I have found it on my own.
You can go on pretending you did no wrong.
You are only fooling yourself on a path of damnation.
There will be one day you will learn in a flash
You lived a life not true and you can’t get it back.
Those arrows you will wish you never threw.
But they have missed me now, I rose above you.
