Epiphany

I'm stronger than all the ways I've been made to feel, Fighting with the shadows of things that were never real. You know I'm suffering, I know you'll never care, A plastic bag over my head and I'm gasping for some air. And all the things that I have cried for were never worth the struggle, Living in a three ring circus but I never learned to juggle. Sick of the deception, sick of all the lies, Sick of every hand I reach for throwing dirt into my eyes. What I've learned as I flip back through all the pages of my life, Is - I'm too good to be your girlfriend and too smart to be your wife. Shake your head from your illusions, you know we would never last, So just do us both a favor and leave us in the past. You keep digging me deeper and deeper in this ditch, So find yourself a log and get over me, like a bridge. 'Cause now I'm taking off, like a plane, I'm taking flight, Heading for the horizon of a future, shining bright. Cutting out my problems like butter sliced with a machete, I've got ghosts in my closet, but they're never gonna get me.
