Tears On the Wind

The stressors that exist are only an abyss.
As I walk through the ravine, I know staying is the penalty.
     Abys, I will not suffer for being a buffoon.

Tears on the wind and emotions are no more.

     The abuse that is writhed is not to be remembered.
The tears I have cried have soothed my soul.
     Once I voided the love, I became whole.

Tears in the wind and no sentiments to give just a spirit attained.

     Driving fast with my hair in the air, life flashes and a sigh is all that is given.
I am not to be gorged back into pain.
     I am to pedestal because I have attained freedom from an abusive man.

Tears on the wind, tears in the rain, pain is knowing that I cannot overcome 
     an abusive man.

Joy is my sunshine again.
     Thus, I am letting the world know I win!
