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.
