No More Pain

For once I am happy
Yes, that may be true.
Still, nobody can bring me down
Quite like you do.

I will still cry in a time of no regret,
When all I want to do is just forget
I want to forget the punches.
I want to forget the pain.

That way of life hurt me,
It hurt me more than anything.
That is why I am moving on,
That is why I am forgetting.

For once I am happy,
Not even you can bring me down.
I stand tall, with broad shoulders
And you shall see no frown.
Big bright green eyes, and a smile on my face
Your harm to me left not a trace.

I will no longer care,
I will no longer fret,
The little worries you gave me,
And all the regret.

Now you will bow before me, get down and kneel.
You will no longer define me, or how I feel.
I am my own person, who no longer cares the price of your bid
You can’t drag me down like when you once did.
