Long Since Gone

You sit there and stare in wonder

Im not the same I used to be

Things have changed since you had me last

No longer can you push me around

Im not the scared little kid anymore

No more tears on my part

I wont fear you anymore

Not let you beat me down

Screw with my head so I think you're right

Im not hiding anymore



You see me standing before you

Willing to fight

Willing to stand up for myself

Ready to get you out of my life

There's nothing you can do anymore

Nothing to control me

I no longer take your orders

I have my own mind and now I am free from you



I can tell in your eyes

You want me tethered and locked up again

Beat me all you want

But I will not scream for you

Will never give in

You shall never have the pleasure of my fear, my screams or my tears

excellently constructed write; powerful, disturbing/compelling and with very effective erratic pace. Damn fine.
