So Much Yet

It feels so much like I've walled through some door
Or left some room and now stand in the light
So much happiness left to be had
I've started to think maybe things aren't so bad

Yes, I had to turn away from so many
Those who carried depression or greed on their backs
Like vampires, they sucked the energy out
Like a conscience, they filled my heart with doubt

Drama is so much a part of that life
So depressing and seriously hard for someone like me
No respect ever shown for who I am and what I believe
Only the constant biting and chewing of using me

Now that I'm away from those people
I feel so much lighter and free
I can smile, I can really be happy
I will never again let anyone take this from me
