I Am Giving Up

I am letting you turn the pages of your own world now
Since I am no longer what you wanted
Maybe what you will read will make more sense than when I was around
Maybe the pictures will be clearer than the ones we painted together.

You will have to grasp new definitions on your own now
You will meet new lines that you will have to ellaborate to your mind'
In the meantime, I will make a book of what you made me go through
In it I will describe the pain, the wounds, the marks and scars you left behind
I will paint pictiures of the harsh words you used against my simple soul
At the end of it all I will thank you for making me the one I have become.
