Becoming Hurt

Hey old self
This is the new me
never had a conversation
so openly
because you must feel
the rocky journey
I'm miles stronger
the fire doesn't  burn me
no hate consumes
though little is left
i deprive myself
of a deep long breath

I sigh relief
of that close call
the higher up
the harder the fall
and I am all
you couldn't find
do I remind you of you
from another time?

I see myself 
every single day
from way too close
or far away
I know my state of
utter control
you just wish it
were not so
it cannot be
too close to me
or we might counteract
into bad chemistry

One in the same
old and new
making up a brighter
side of you
I shall not die
for spite of you
I will be a blaze
that does not consume

Its hard enough 
to walk at all
the path is shady
underneath a wall
from my protection
get away
for I'm becoming like you
a threat to me

Simply worded and easy to read and understand. This is a very descriptive introspection.
