Goodbye to the past life

Feeling the sun on my face Feeling free with music up in the trees I hear you call my name and it becomes a race Knowing I can no longer be at ease Hoping you don’t read between the lines Pretending it's easy to go on Back to the house I’m usually confined How to continue when all my lifelines are gone I didn’t know much worse it would get I wish I could have warned you But now to tell you he is not a threat I get to say you made it through Younger self, she will hold you snug With your personality larger-than-life whittled away with a knife You deserved so much more, may I suggest a hug? There I knelt and waved to her and walked away from that past life.
