I Remember

I remember the poisonous tongue that spoke to my mind.  
It killed the part of me that had my heart in a bind.  
I sat still for a moment, and before I knew,  
My soul was burning, and my heart was blue.  

I remember how I felt the pain in my eyes.  
"Get out of my life" were the words I replied.  
The answer was too intense; it hardened my cries.  
Separated from the heart left me with no pride.  

I'm finally free, and there's no going back.  
I have to relax and get my life on track.  
It feels so good to be free from depression.  
My God has finally given me my greatest blessing.  

That means speaking your words in a thunderous way,  
As you pose for the lightning with your wordplay.  
No more sitting back, letting the rain fall from your face.  
Let's take this world by storm each and every day.
