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.

Great attitude Heidi, he can't hurt you if you give him no power.

Thank you Phil. There have been many in a family that once did have that power, but I have moved on to experience what it is like for them not to have it. Thank you for your kind comment.
